ACAD – Rejected: Psalm 108
With God we will do valiantly. “Awake, my soul! I will awake the dawn. I will give thanks to you, O Lord, among the peoples, and I will sing praises to you among the nations. For your steadfast love is higher than the heavens and your faithfulness reaches to the clouds. Be exalted, O God, above the heavens, and let your glory be over all the earth.
ACAD – Rejection: Psalm 60
God rejects Israel; Israel pleads for restoration and help for victory against their enemies. “O grant us help against the foe, for human help is worthless. With God we shall do valiantly; it is He who will tread down our foes.”

Women veterans are now America’s natural disaster,” says Final Salute founder Jaspen Boothe.
“Don’t worry, I’ve got you!”
“Don’t worry, I’ve got you!” Remember when Superman caught Lois Lane mid-air and said these words to her? Lois looked at him incredulously and said, “You’ve got me, but who’s got you?!?!” I never thought of it this way, but it’s just come to me. She wasn’t interested in his power. She wasn’t interested inContinueContinue reading ““Don’t worry, I’ve got you!””
Don’t be so crooked you can’t see straight
I’ve had he recent discomfort of dealing with someone who was so busy trying to get over on me that he missed a genuine offer of help with no strings attached. It was an odd experience, to be sure, to offer someone help and then listen to them try to hustle me throughout the nextContinueContinue reading “Don’t be so crooked you can’t see straight”
Where my help truly comes from…
In the same way, trust comes by seeing someone do what they said they would do. With each action that follows a word/declaration/promise, trust increases. The third woman I spoke to last week complained bitterly about being unable to trust anyone, having no one to turn to for assistance with her children and being weary of inviting anyone into her home for fear of how they would take advantage of her situation. In exasperation, I told her, “At some point, you’re going to have to just decide to trust someone. Before you get to that point, you have to trust yourself. Do you trust yourself?”
