Today’s Meditation Click to read: Psalm 136:3 Yesterday we looked at verse two which describes God as the “God of gods.” Why then this apparent redundancy? Why go ahead and describe Him as the Lord of lords? The use of repetition and synonyms was very common in Eastern literature as a way of emphasizing a point.

Today’s Meditation Click to read: 2 Timothy 2:19 Have you ever really wondered what it would be like to be God? What would it be like to have to keep track of the thoughts and intents of not just one person’s heart, but the hearts of several billion people?

Today’s Meditation Click to read: Psalm 34:15 Have you ever gotten stuck on hold on the phone? You really needed to speak with the person or company on the other end, but it seemed like the object they had in mind was to conduct a scientific study to see how long you would wait before finally giving up.
