Join me for a humble look at a psalm that was very important to Jesus. He quoted it. He quoted it at His most difficult moment, twice.

It starts with a feeling (forsakenness) and ends with a fact (it is finished). In between, we'll see whether the Father leans in or out. Subscribe to the Youtube channel here:

Join me as we look to 3 psalms to see practical ways God helps us.

If you love nature.

If you are broken hearted.

If are frustrated that "you are dust"

Then join me for these 7 ½ minutes to hear how God helps us.

subscribe and tell me what you think:

What happens if I forget spiritual pearls that I learned previously? Does that make me a knucklehead, or does it make me NORMAL?

Here's one:If you cannot (yet) serve the Lord with gladness, then serve along side someone who is serving the Lord with gladness. They will teach you how to be glad.

Where do I find these people? You will find them in the bowels of the church serving the so-called-unlovely.

Remember with me today how NOT to be a "sheep-emergency".

We'll let the wisdom and comfort and challenge of Psalm 23 wash over us. The Lord is my Shepherd. He has not come unarmed to His job. That is why we can be comforted.

Then we'll turn to Psalm 73 and hear about a guy who ALMOST gets it wrong. His feet had ALMOST stumbled by admiring the wrong kind of people. He almost trades the precious for the passing. Whom have I in heaven but YOU?

"Just BREATHE." You hear it all the time in the advice of media experts.

Join me for the last psalm of the Book, and the last of the "Psalms of my Friends" to get some better advice. Rather than, "just breathe", "Let everything that has breath PRAISE THE LORD."

Join me, as if this is our only day left of breathing to do the essential thing.

Subscribe in case the Lord gives us another day.

Getting a heart of wisdom requires some MATH.

We are to number our days. ( I have 1648 days left, according to Psalm 90)

Doing so affords us something precious: a soul that has the skill, aptitudes and ability to apply knowledge. Lots of things fade as the years go forward, wisdom is not supposed to be one of them.

The AWARENESS of the days will increase the VALUE of those days. Start with the next 7 minutes by clicking here.

We weren't created to be finite. We are infinite, eternal beings...just not here in this life. Someday, death will be no more.

Meantime, Psalm 90 teaches us how long a typical life is. It is important, because there is stuff to do before the final bell tolls.

Join me for 7 minutes today, at -3F, to find out how long you are going to live.

Oh, if we could just make it to heaven by comparison. One of the great offenses of the gospel is that none of us is "good enough". We all fall short. The Bible notes that everybody, even our own beloved mothers, don't earn heaven by being "good enough."

So is God thwarted in His desire that none should perish? Nope. He makes a way thru Jesus that gives access to all to call on Him. Our "earning" is discarded for His accomplishment.

Join me for 7 minutes to see if being "better than Hitler" is enough.
