Each New Day
Psalm 73:28 But as for me, the nearness of God is my good; I have made the Lord God my refuge, That I may tell of all Your works. Each new day begins with the dawning of the sun. Each new day ~ An opportunity to see my God display His mighty presence. Each new day […]

Like a Sponge
Lord, squeeze me like a sponge today, Let tears like water flow. For while I’m in your hand, you said, You’d never let me go. ~ You tightly hold me in Your grip. You wring my past sins out. And from Your hand my old self drips- Along with fears and doubt. ~ Your loosened […]

Three brass weights, drawn by gravity, pull the many gears inside the clockwork and indicate once again the right time. Recently, I made a big mistake. I was in a hurry and pulled […]
