Category: Blogging Through Psalms

Today’s reading was a bit humbling and yet comforting. I do NOT see myself as sinless and yet, with Christ, I am. He washes away my sins… which is a really big deal. Even in considering that, I couldn’t pick a verse that talks about being blameless. That was too much. But this one I…

Whew! Yesterday was a BIG day. I was a speaker at an IBM Watson event in San Francisco and it was phenomenal. I hope to fill you in more about it later, but for now, I’ll include a link to a related press release at the end. (I don’t want to distract you in your devo…

This morning I had a hard time grabbing just one verse that stood out to me. Each verse that jumped out really needed the support of the others around it for me today and the entire passage had a beautiful message. Here’s what I heard in Psalm 24: Scripture: Psalm 23:5 makes me smile: The…

Good morning from San Francisco! I’m here for an event that takes place tomorrow and my heart is bursting with joy at the opportunity I have been given to be a part of it. I can’t give you more details now, but perhaps tomorrow I can share. What I can say now is that, once…

I am typing this while standing in line to board a plane– yes, really, so bear with me in my brevity. I woke this morning, read the chapter and was puzzled as to which verse to highlight. I couldn’t sit still and ponder much, as, well, I’ve got this flight. And so, here I am.…

This past weekend I spent leading my daughter and some girls from her Girl Scout troop in their first camping experience. The rest of the troop (minus 2 girls) will camp for the first time in November, sand I have no doubt this first group will be fantastic leaders for the rest of the troop on…

I’m weary. There are so many things pulling at me. Are you feeling the same way? I bet David did, too. Fortunately, I don’t have enemies attacking me or my people in the way David did. But I do feel pressed and pulled, that is for sure. I am getting ahead of myself. Here is…

Today’s devotional just makes me smile…  hope it does the same for you. He is right there for us always. Here is what I heard in Psalm 17: Scripture: Psalm 17: 6-7 I call upon you, for you will answer me, O God; incline your ear to me, hear my words. Wondrously show your steadfast love,…

Good morning from Charlotte, North Carolina. I’m here as a sponsor and presenter at Digital CoLab via Wine4.Me. The last 24 hours have held a lot of excitement for me that I will be able to share with you soon. It’s been a blast to see God’s provision and today’s verse rang so very, very true.…

I am literally on an airplane hoping to finish this post before the door closes. So I’d better just jump right in… Here’s what I heard in Psalm 15: Scripture: Psalm 15 The whole thing really grabbed me, rather than just one verse. You can read all of Psalm 15 on Bible Gateway. (Please take…

This morning I am already facing frustration. I am trying to keep a cool head, but it’s hard. I hate that I jumped into other stuff without the chance to do my Bible reading first. Here’s what I am hearing in Psalm 14 today: Scripture: Psalm 14:6 You evildoers frustrate the plans of the poor, but the…

This morning’s SOAP could either be encouraging or discouraging, depending on where you are. I sure hope you see it as an encouragement. I opted to look at the chapter as a whole rather than pull just one verse. Here is what I heard from Psalm 13:

Happy Saturday! This morning I was thinking about a presentation that I am sharing later this week when I reminded myself to stop that line of thinking for now and read my Bible passage for the day. I try to read each day’s passage before I engage in anything else, as best I can. No…

Last night I attended a meeting for Girl Scout leaders. Although this is my fifth year as a leader, I have not been able to attend many of those meetings through the years. Last night I was blown away by the amount of service projects our community of Girl Scout troops participates in every single…

  Gotta be quick this morning! Here’s what I heard in Psalm 10 using SOAP: Scripture: Psalm 10:17 O Lord, you hear the desire of the afflicted; you will strengthen their heart; you will incline your ear Observation: You hear those who call out to you and strengthen them. Application: We should call out to Him…
