When Suffering Comes
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, Now more than ever before Americans are aware of suffering. Covid 19 has many people frightened and even believers are confused as to why Covid19 is even happening. Prayers for the healing of those afflicted are sometimes answered...
Timothy and Nancy Kellers’ Songs of Jesus, Psalm 56:1-7
Breath prayer verses 3-4, ‘When I am afraid, I put my trust in You. In God, whose word I praise — In God I trust and am not afraid. What can mere mortals do to me?’ David had just been responsible for the annihilation of the people of Nob on the orders of King Saul....
Timothy and Nancy Kellers’ Songs of Jesus, Psalm 78:32-37
The end of vs. 32 and vs 35, personalized and paraphrased as, “Help me to believe, Adonai. Help me to remember that You are my rock and my redeemer,” are God’s Word for me today. And how deeply I needed to plead for this help today. It has been a week in which God has...
Timothy and Nancy Kellers’ Songs of Jesus, Psalm 77:1-9
“My heart meditates and my spirit asks . . .” vs. 6b, changed to the present tense, was God’s breath prayer for me this morning. On what did God ask me to meditate? Whether or not my heart was as broken in sorrow for the spiritual state of my family as His is. I have...
Timothy and Nancy Kellers’ Songs of Jesus. Psalm 74:9-17
The context of Psalm 74 is the Babylonian destruction of Jerusalem and the Temple in 587 B.C. In the midst of despair, the psalmist recounts the mighty past deeds of Yahweh, preaching to himself, reminding himself of who God is and what He does. God’s word for...
Timothy and Nancy Kellers’ Songs of Jesus, Psalm 73:1-3
This is one of those days when I feel deep gratitude for God. He moves me into uncomfortable circumstances chiding me gently and lovingly, and at the same time comforting me with His presence. In a recent lectio divina God’s word for me was, “Do not let go!” Today,...
Timothy and Nancy Kellers’ Songs of Jesus, Psalm 70
The context for this Psalm, which is practically identical to Psalm 40, according to the Derek Kidner commentary I read along with the Kellers’ devotional, is David’s need and the necessity of learning how to wait for God act. David’s need is urgent. He is given...
Timothy and Nancy Kellers’ Songs of Jesus, Psalm 69:1-6
Rick and I are preparing to give our joint testimony as part of a Sunday morning service at our home church, Ignite Myrtle Beach under the guidance of our pastor, Jim Neece. We have been fasting and praying for Holy Spirit guidance for some time now, faced quite a few...
Timothy and Nancy Kellers’ Songs of Jesus, Psalm 66:17-20
Vs. 18 leapt off the page, “If I had cherished sin in my heart, You would not have listened.” Why do we think we can be deliberately and defiantly rebellious towards God and at the same time get mad at Him when He doesn’t bless us the way we want Him to bless us? We...
Timothy and Nancy Kellers’ Songs of Jesus, Psalm 63:1-4
I know I said I would blog only once a week because of pressing ministry needs. The Kellers’ referral to the Samaritan woman at the well is well taken and valid, but please read the story of Absalom and David in 2 Samuel chapters 13 -17. It is a story of parental...
