I will instruct _____________ and teach her in the way she should go. I will counsel _____________ and watch over her. – Psalm 32: 8 My husband recently started working with a new contractor. This man is not from our area and there are many new things that he needs to learn about building in Idaho. One the nicest compliments that my husband has made about him is that he is teachable. That is a great quality in a Daughter of The King. As today’s verse mentions, God is willing to teach, instruct and counsel those who are willing to listen and learn. I especially like the part where He…

________________ has trusted in the Lord without wavering. – Psalm 26:2 One of the incredible blessings about reading the personalized bible is that it calls you out. The written Word comes alive and it helps me to take hold of the promises and instruction found within. But it goes even deeper when verses like today’s, makes you ask if that is a true statement of yourself. Launa has trusted in the Lord without wavering. I want that to be true! I know that it currently isn’t. The beauty is that in just a few verses later it reads, “For Your steadfast love is before her eyes.” God is ever leading…

The godly may trip seven times, but they will get up again. – Proverbs 24:16 While on vacation I walked quite a bit but I fell prey to the,”it’s a special occasion so a few desserts are okay,” mindset and no surprise, I gained back a few of the pounds I had worked so hard to lose. Even when I was in the midst of deciding whether or not to partake, I could hear the verse, “When tempted He will provide a way out.” I just didn’t take it. The enemy didn’t stop there. At home I was attacked mentally about the new number on the scale and condemnation started…

When they saw the courage of Peter and John and realized that they were unschooled, ordinary men, they were astonished and they took note that these men had been with Jesus. – Acts 4:13 While on vacation I was reading The Chosen book two. The scene was about the woman at the well, who the writer named Photina, and the comment about her was that “she as usual radiates with glee in the presence of Jesus.” I would like the same thing said about me. This woman fully understood what the grace of God encompassed. She was redeemed. Set free from sin. Had a new life in Christ and was telling everyone…

I hear the tumult of the raging seas    as your waves and surging tides sweep over me. But each day the Lord pours his unfailing love upon me,    and through each night I sing his songs,    praying to God who gives me life.- Psalm 42:7-8 After two consecutive days of being drenched in waves during my quiet time on the beach, I decided to ask God where He would like me to sit during our morning time together instead of relying on my own judgement. The answer was on the highest plateau of sand near the resort. What a difference it made to know I was right where God wanted me to be, a high place…

Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows. – James 1:17 After my wipe out on the beach, I felt that I was to gather my belongings and take a walk with God. I shook the sand out of my bible then squeezed as much water as I could from my beach towel. With my backpack hanging on my shoulders I started to walk. I pictured a smile on His face as He looked at my disheveled appearance and thanked Him for taking the time to teach me. As we walked many more waves crashed against the…

Therefore let all the faithful pray to you while you may be found; surely the rising of the mighty waters will not reach them. You are my hiding place; you will protect me from trouble and surround me with songs of deliverance. – Psalm 32:6-7 I was sitting on what I thought was a high place at the beach when I read today’s passage. The waves were steadily crashing against the shore and I haughtily took the words, “the mighty waters will not reach me,” to heart. Just as I began to write the passage in my journal I was completely drenched in a rouge wave. My bible, reading glasses, highlighter…

There are four small creatures,    wisest of the wise they are   ants—frail as they are,            get plenty of food in for the winter;        marmots—vulnerable as they are,            manage to arrange for rock-solid homes;        locusts—leaderless insects,            yet they strip the field like an army regiment;        lizards—easy enough to catch,            but they sneak past vigilant palace guards. – Proverbs 30:24-28 MSG Life often seems to be a constant rush. We are always hurrying to this or that, while wanting faster responses and services. How often do we just take a moment to watch and listen to God’s creation? I was recently blessed to take a few days off and sit on a quiet beach. As I listened to the waves…
