Christian – Living Life with Jesus

Jeremiah 20

Jeremiah 20:4, “For thus says the Lord: ‘Behold, I will make you a terror to yourself and to all your friends; and they shall fall by the sword of their enemies, and your eyes shall see it…” In this chapter, Jeremiah was put into the stocks, by a man named Pashur, for speaking the wordContinue reading “Jeremiah 20”

Jeremiah 14

The people are NOW coming to the Lord, now that the consequences have started happening, but it’s too late. He gave them lots of opportunities to repent and be saved, but they refused. And now, it’s time for judgement. But there are false prophets saying that everything will be fine. When I first listened toContinue reading “Jeremiah 14”

Proverbs 20

Good morning, as you know there is a ton of information to unpack in the Proverbs. Therefore, I’m just going to highlight a couple of verses that caught my attention. 20:3, “It is honorable for a man to stop striving, since any fool can start a quarrel.” Fighting, quarreling, arguing- these are all easy toContinue reading “Proverbs 20”

Proverbs 14

There is so much to unpack in this chapter! I’m just going to highlight a few verses that caught my attention. Proverbs 14:4, “Where no oxen are, the trough is clean; But much increase comes by the strength of an ox.” When I read this, I was so confused by it, I prayed the HolyContinue reading “Proverbs 14”

Psalm 77

We can all relate to this Psalm. Asaph (the author) is in anguish, he is suffering and wondering, “where is God?” I know I have cried out to the Lord, troubled, asking, “where are you?!?” Some people choose these moments to walk away from God, claiming that He was absent during their time of need.Continue reading “Psalm 77”

Psalm 71

We have so much to praise God for. We could praise Him for eternity and never run out. Here, the author is praising God for being, “upheld from birth. You are He who took me out of my mother’s womb.” (verse 6). Amen to that! We can praise God for letting us be born andContinue reading “Psalm 71”

Psalm 69

A couple of things stuck out to me from this Psalm. First, have you ever asked, “If I’m saved no matter what, why does my behavior matter?” I know I have asked that question, especially during my younger days when I wanted to behave in ways that did not align with Christ. Verses 6 andContinue reading “Psalm 69”

Psalm 46:10

“Be still and know that I am God” God’s been teaching me a lesson about slowing down and this fits right in. I don’t have to be go-go-go all the time. When we are too busy, we can’t be still- and it’s in the stillness that our hearts and souls come to know God. Also,Continue reading “Psalm 46:10”

Psalm 42

Psalm 42: 1-2, “As the deer pants for the water brooks, so pants my soul for You, O God. My soul thirsts for God, for the living God.” Our SOULS thirst for God. I know how thirsty I get if I have to go even an hour without water and that’s how our souls areContinue reading “Psalm 42”

Psalm 34 and 35

Psalm 34:8, “Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good; Blessed is the man who trusts in Him! Oh, fear the Lord, you His saints! There is no want to those who fear Him. The lions lack and suffer hunger; But those who seek the Lord shall not lack any good thing.” This isContinue reading “Psalm 34 and 35”
