The word “Sacrifice” is not a very popular word. Most people see it as uncomfortable. Nobody wants to sacrifice because that means you are going to have to do without something that you really think you need. Scripture sees sacrifice quite differently, however. David speaks of bringing a sacrifice of praise. In another place he […]

Today is Yom Teruah, The blowing of the trumpets for the Feast of Trumpets – Today we will take a look at Psalm 94 and gain an understanding of how David saw through the difficulties of his day and proclaimed that even though it looked bad, our Heavenly Father was still in control. Even though […]

Psalm 42 is one of the better-known psalms that cries out – “As the Deer pants for the water, so my soul longs after You!” David is reminding us of the only source of living water that can satisfy the thirst our soul and spirit. There are many things and sources that try to offer […]

Having just experienced Hurricane Idalia here in Florida, I was drawn to the words of Psalm 107. Our Heavenly Father promises to be with us through the storms of life. They might be literal storms of weather, or the might be other storms of finances, health or family. In any case, our Heavenly Father promises […]

In order to come into the gates of our Heavenly Father’s kingdom, we must, as David says in Psalm 100 enter in with thanksgiving and praise. When we express thanksgiving to our Heavenly Father, it gets His attention. It opens the channel of communication so that we can present our petitions, desires, and hopes before […]

David has a lot to say about the heart in the Psalms. The Hebrew understanding for the word “Lev” used for heart is not so much the anatomical organ that pumps the blood, but rather the central part of us that makes our decisions, expresses our emotions, and establishes our moral guide for our actions. […]

Good is the enemy of Best! Our Heavenly Father has designed for us the best way to live, yet we so often take what may appear to be a “good” way. So many times, in the process of walking that choice out, we are shown how wrong that choice was and how far it took […]

This week I want to share with you a new recording of Psalm 66. I used the text last week but this is the music from the chord progression of that Psalm. We continue the theme of testing. Our Heavenly Father is so loving that He designs test to help us prepare for the challenges […]

This week, I’m going to share a bit of our worship session that we had in Tennessee with some great fellowship. The text comes out of Psalm 66 where David encourages us to Praise our Heavenly Father no matter the circumstances. In fact, praise to our Abba gives us the perspective to see that all […]

Shirley and I got to go up into the air with a parasail. It was amazing and it got me thinking about how our altitude can change our attitude – and our attitude can change our altitude. David encourages us to “Lift” our eyes in Psalm 121 and 123 and in this episode, I will […]

Well, I turned 70 this week and it has given me a pause for reassessment of my life. Psalm 90 tells us that a life is 70 years and if by strength, 80 years. I am including the music from Psalm 90 which can be found on my album, “Living Water” at: www.calmingharp.com. I am […]

Our Heavenly Father can be trusted to have our best interests in mind. Psalm 103 reminds us that He lovingly provides for us in so many ways. The harp music in this episode was just recorded today, so it is “fresh off the press” as it were. As we find ourselves in chaotic times and […]

In Psalm 5, David speaks about coming into the house of his Heavenly Father. We are all invited to attend the great celebration feast that our Heavenly Father has prepared for us. Yeshua also reminded us that He has gone to prepare a place for us. In this episode, we are also going to hear […]

This week I am sharing some clips from our presentation at the Proclaim Conference in Iowa. A beautiful setting out in the cornfields. Sharing from Psalm 145 which commands us to praise our Heavenly Father no matter what is going on. We are to remember all the wonderful ways He has provided for us. I […]

In Psalm 12,13, 14, and 15 David reminds us that even though there are people around us that flaunt our Heavenly Father’s guidance for us to have a blessed life, we are not to become discouraged, because there is an ultimate accountability. He does not forget those who remain faithful to His word and those […]

In Psalm 27 David expresses his great desire to be in the House of the Lord. What did this “House” offer him? In this episode, we will consider how our Heavenly Father sets aside places and times for us to come apart from the craziness of the world to rest and detox – recuperate and […]

What do we do with God’s silence? Sometimes silence is good so that we can clear our minds and hearts. Sometimes silence is discouraging because we are waiting for a solution and it seems as if time has stopped and we are held in suspense. Our Heavenly Father uses silence sometimes to get our attention […]

Are we able to express our JOY in our Heavenly Father? David reminds us in many of the Psalms that we are to come Joyfully before our Heavenly Father and acknowledge the amazing things that He has done for us. He protects, provides, comforts, heals, and so many more actions on our behalf. If we […]

My recent experience taking care of a family member healing slowly and becoming discouraged lead me to think that there might be others who are facing discouragement and that David reminds us of how we can still rely on our Heavenly Father even when we think we are forgotten. David encourages us to praise our […]

As we have been talking about our being faithful to our Heavenly Father, this week we will take a look at what David has to say about our faithfulness to Him. It’s a two-way street. As I say often, it’s Relationship, Relationship, Relationship…. Our Abba has shown Himself to be faithful in so many circumstances […]

Have you ever said something you wish you could take back? In Psalm 141 David asks his Heavenly Father to put a watch over his mouth. I know I need one of those frequently! As things transpire in our nation and around the world, I can get quite critical and I need that watch over […]

Many times we are tempted to feel that we just don’t make any difference in the world around us. We wonder if we even matter in the greater scheme of things. David reminds us that the humble will be the ones on whom our Heavenly Father can depend. Psalm 34 is a litany of what […]

Eternity is not about time, it’s about relationship and trust in our Heavenly Father. Psalm 37 is David’s reminder that our Heavenly Father knows our needs and helps us remember that we are not to be discouraged if there are those around us that are not following His way of life. In our relationship with […]

As we find ourselves in the middle of the Passover season, it is important to remember that our Saviour Yashua is the whole point of what the Passover lamb was showing us. In Psalm 51, David tells us that our Heavenly Father does not require the blood of bulls and goats but rather a broken […]

This week has been eventful in the Political, Natural and Financial chaos spinning around us. Tornadoes in Mississippi and other states – Bank failures – Political upheaval and strife – all can leave us discouraged and disoriented and wondering where we can turn. Our Heavenly Father is the only one we can trust and His […]
