Today’s Meditation Click to read: Psalm 136:6 When we look at this scripture, there are two ways of viewing this.

Today’s Meditation Click to read: Psalm 1:2 So what’s a person to do? Does God simply take all the “fun” out of life? The person spoken of here does not do any of the things that sinful men would describe as fun. Does that mean he lacks fun? Not at all.

Today’s Meditation Click to read: Psalm 1:1 How blessed are you? There are a lot of ways that we count blessings. Sometimes we count our material possessions. Sometimes we count our health.

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?
