Something Greater

Lord, the day is yours, and the night; you established the moon and the sun. You set all the boundaries of the earth; you made summer and winter. Lord my God, you are very great; you are clothed with majesty and splendor. Lord, train my heart and mind to see, hear, obey and worship you...in moments of fatigue and fighting, as well as in moments of peace and contentment. For you are my faithful love and my fortress, my stronghold and my deliverer. Your are my shield, and I take refuge in you; you are working in me daily, in every circumstance, to subdue my hard heart, my selfish pride, and my impatient discontent and lack of gratitude. Thank you for caring for me! Reach down and set me free to be with you with my whole heart, mind and body!

How long will I store up anxious concerns within me, agony in my mind every day? How long will worries, threats, weakness, and frustration dominate me?  Why, my soul, are you so dejected? Why are you in such turmoil? Put your hope in God, for He is our Savior and our God! LORD my God, restore brightness to my eyes. I know that I am always with you; you hold my right hand. You guide me with your counsel. You have promised me a home with you in glory. I desire nothing on earth but you. My flesh and my heart may fail, but you, my God, are the strength of my heart, my portion forever. As a father has compassion on his children, so the LORD has compassion on those who trust in him only and ever.  In you alone, God my Father, do I place my hope.

Lord, hear my prayer; let my cry for help come before you.  Show me your face in my day of trouble. Lord, guard my heart today; protect my heart against unfaithfulness and dishonor to you.  Protect my words from deceit and flattery. Fill my heart with your pure Word. As a deer longs for flowing streams, so I long for you, God.  I thirst for you, the living God. When can I come and be with you? Why, my soul, are you so dejected? Why are you in such turmoil?  Put your hope in God, and I will praise him, my Savior and my God. Lord, send your faithful love by day, and your song of love in the night.  This is my prayer to the God of my life.

Psalm 139 Milt Reynolds | Last updated: October 20, 2022 O LORD, you have searched me and known me! You know when I sit down and when I rise up; you discern my thoughts from afar. You search out my path and my lying down and are acquainted with all my ways. Even before a word is on my tongue, behold, O LORD, you know it altogether. You hem me in, behind and before, and lay your hand upon me. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high; I cannot attain it. Where shall I go from your Spirit? Or where shall I flee from your presence? If I ascend to heaven, you are there! If I make my bed in Sheol, you are there! If I take the wings of the morning and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea, even there your hand shall lead me, and your right hand shall hold me. If I say, “Surely the darkness shall cover me, and the light about me be night,” even the darkness is not dark to you; the night is bright as the day, for darkness is as light with you. For you formed my inward parts; you...

Psalm 57 Milt Reynolds | Last updated: October 2, 2022 Be merciful to me, O God, be merciful to me, for in you my soul takes refuge; in the shadow of your wings I will take refuge, till the storms of destruction pass by. I cry out to God Most High, to God who fulfills his purpose for me. He will send from heaven and save me; he will put to shame him who tramples on me. Selah God will send out his steadfast love and his faithfulness! My soul is in the midst of lions; I lie down amid fiery beasts— the children of man, whose teeth are spears and arrows, whose tongues are sharp swords. Be exalted, O God, above the heavens! Let your glory be over all the earth! They set a net for my steps; my soul was bowed down. They dug a pit in my way, but they have fallen into it themselves. Selah My heart is steadfast, O God, my heart is steadfast! I will sing and make melody! Awake, my glory! Awake, O harp and lyre! I will awake the dawn! I will give thanks to you, O Lord, among the peoples; I wil...

Praying Through God's Word - Genesis Milt Reynolds | Last updated: October 2, 2022 Genesis 11 | September 23, 2022 Photo by Jr Korpa on unsplash.com "One language and the same words..." Generations and centuries of time have passed in the first ten chapters of the Book of Genesis, and this is the first mention of language and words? This implies that God created language and words from the beginning, just as he created hands and feet, eyes and ears, and heaven and earth! Moreover, there is yet no mention of writing...no command to record history or the words of God. Chapter 10 does describe different languaes and people groups...it seems out of place here chronologically. Or rather, Chapter 11 seems to be a look backward, before global dispersion. There is mention here of "genealogies" and records of clans and peoples. Chapter 11 serves as a transition in perspective, from Noah to Abraham. Perhaps the history of the land of Shinar and the great city ...
