Something Greater

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.

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.

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 ...
