He Walks With Us

  • Be Disheartened

    Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth. Psalm 46:10 (KJV) Be still – I’ve heard this verse quoted many times as if God was instructing us to just remain calm. Just quiet yourself and understand God. As if a call to…

  • Tasting the Truth

    [A Psalm] of David; when he changed his demeanour before Abimelech, who drove him away, and he departed. Psalm 34:1 (JPS) Demeanour – Do you ever stop to read the introduction to any of the Psalms? This introduction is particularly interesting. It’s referring to a time before David was king. It’s the story from 1…

  • Forgiveness

    Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases; Psalm 103:3 (KJV) Forgiveth – Did you know that God practiced forgiveness prior to the coming of Yeshua? Did you know, like the Psalmist writes, that this forgiveness was for ALL thine iniquities? Yep, all of them. Well all except the ones that He chose…

  • Easier to Swallow

    Blessed are the undefiled in the way, who walk in the law of the Lord. Psalm 119:1 (KJV) Law – We know this word; it is Torah in Hebrew. But “law” is probably not the best translation. “Law” turns people away. Who needs the law of God when we have the grace of Jesus? All…

  • Fear of Fearing God

    For the Lord is great, and greatly to be praised: he is to be feared above all gods. Psalm 96:4 (KJV) Feared – Could it be said that we have a fear of fearing God? So great is our fear of fearing Him that we construct alternative opinions around the word “fear”. Surely it doesn’t…

  • A Right Spirit

    Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me. Psalm 51:10 (KJV) Right spirit – Before we jump into what the right spirit is, are you familiar with the wrong spirits? Too many of us are.

  • Love the Sinner

    Let the sinners be consumed out of the earth, and let the wicked be no more. Bless thou the LORD, O my soul. Praise ye the LORD. Psalm 104:35 (KJV) Sinners – Love the sinner, but hate the sin. Isn’t this how we’ve come to understand it? Shouldn’t we have compassion and patience toward those…

  • Bound For Hell

    For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption. Psalm 16:10 (KJV) Hell – Our minds can get pretty creative with this word conjuring up thoughts of fire, torment, anguish, and suffering. We might imagine a red guy with goat legs and horns ruling this…

  • The Beginning of Wisdom

    The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do his commandments: his praise endureth for ever. Psalm 111:10 (KJV) Fear – God is mighty and terrible (Deut. 7:21), He is a consuming fire (Deut. 4:24), and He is vengeful (Ps. 94:1). But are these what David is referring to…

  • Giving Thanks to the Lord

    O give thanks unto the Lord, for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever. Psalm 107:1 (KJV) David had plenty of reasons to thank God.  As a young shepherd, God helped him fight off a lion and bear for the life of his flock.  He stood against the mighty Goliath in simple clothes, and God guided…
