My God My Rock.

The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer, my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold. Psalm 18:2

From the end of the earth I call to you when my heart is faint. Lead me to the rock that is higher than I, for you have been my refuge, a strong tower against the enemy. Psalm 61:2-3


God is God. He is in control. He is intimate. He is the Rock of your heart.

It is a good day. His character... is so, so very good...

It's a good morning. Prayer time. Bible out, reading through my friend's thoughts, knowing that God is right now preparing me for my day... and a HUGE mug of coffee. :) It's a good day.

Let's break these things down into two topics, one for today and one for tomorrow. I don't know about you but I'm encouraged, and motivated from our discussions. I don't want to lose sight of what I'm learning, so I want us to keep digging and draw out our personal application: "feet planting steps"... to take ...

Read Genesis 2:9 and Genesis 3:1-7

We've come to realize and agree that we as a people, and as a society have allowed our perceptions and expectations to define success. Let’s single in on the history of our skewed views of blessing and prosper. In the beginning, man was created to KNOW God.. and to have to work and seek to know anything else. They walked and talked with God Himself. And yet… man chose what man wanted. Adam and Eve choose sin. As a result all of us are born with a sin natu...

Good morning!

Well yesterday we decided where we are going to STAND… through our definitions of prosper. Let’s start to plant our feet a little bit, shall we?

The best definition of prosper is found in Psalm 1:1… that’s right you got it: BLESSED.

In His blessedness, we have guidance for circumstances that are beyond our control. We have an owner (planted by streams of living water… we are not a wild tree growing by chance. We are lovingly planted by a constant source of life....

Hi again! I hope you're doing wonderfully-well today! :)We’re going to spend a little bit more time in Psalm 1 to start the week off… (and start hitting some “sticky situations” toward the end of the week) there is so much there and is such a great foundation for the entire book of Psalms! So… head back in it.

Last week we focused on three words: BLESSED, STAND, AND DELIGHT. God’s view of blessing is different, and much deeper than our immediate view! To stand sometimes ...

Hi my friends! :) Today we're going to continue to work through Psalm 1. This Psalm sums up in general, the entirety of the Psalms, and it's worth digging into a bit. Feel free to add your thoughts and discussions, it's been wonderful to read your discussion and learn from you! Ready to dig? Have you spent some time in prayer asking the God who loves and sees you to teach you and lead you into the reality of Him? Ok... let's go!

“But His delight is in the law of the Lord…”Delight ...

Good morning! I hope you had a great weekend! I'm really thankful for and encouraged by your discussion and input this weekend! It's an awesome thing to be able to learn from other people's stories and to see more of who God really is through that input and testimony!

Let’s head back over to Psalm 1 today. Will you take a moment to read through it again?

Blessed (beyond what our eyes may immediately see) is the man“THE man [translated haish] is emphatic; that man; that one amon...

Hi again!

So. Are you ready to STAND today?

Sure. Bible study can be just another thing you read. Or another thing you do.

But that gets exhausting... and usually leaves you right where you started.

I spent a long time thinking.. and worrying.. that we were supposed to be a beautiful and perfect vessel of the attributes listed above to glorify God. I think it’s a very common misconception in Christian circles today. The thing is though… we are only supposed to be the clay. ...

Wow it is already a blessing and a privilege to study with you! We had some awesome things to pull from yesterday, if you didn’t get to read the discussions please feel free to take a minute and go back. You'll be glad you did!!! There have been some awesome glimpses of the amazing love of God!

We've taken a glimpse at our foundation... at the God who created the world, and yet was the first to experience pain, rejection, and heartbreak. The creator was the first to be really hurt, ...

Good morning to you! I hope that you're doing well today! I'm praying for you each of you every day... and I'm SO THANKFUL for each of you in this study. For those who are quietly reading... and for those who are joining in our discussion. I'm just glad that we're all in this together!

Today we're going to spend a little bit more time in Genesis, building our foundation, before we dive back into Psalm 1. Ready?

Please open your Bible and read Genesis 1:26-31. After filling the darkne...

Hi everyone! I hope that your week is getting off to a good start and that you're able to maneuver through this study and website easily. Please e-mail me at any time if you have any questions!

This study is about STANDING. No matter what. And we're going to focus on that word... stand... tomorrow. For today, let's take some time to address just what... or who... it is that we're standing on.

[Our Firm Foundation. Our cornerstone. Our God.]

Even in the first chapter of Psalms we e...
