Most people don’t abandon God. They just slowly become consumed by everything else. This week in Haggai, God gets His people’s attention in a way nobody would choose. Not to pay them back but to bring them back.
Have you ever found yourself saying, “I’ll do it later”? Most of us haven’t said “no” to God. We’ve just said, “not yet.” In Haggai 1, God confronts His people about delayed obedience and calls them to examine the direction of their lives.
A low view of God always makes room for a high view of self. Psalm 36 shows how easily that happens and calls us back to see God as He truly is: faithful, righteous, and near.
Psalm 90 reminds us that our days are numbered, but it does not leave us in fear or regret. Moses teaches us to bring all our days to God: the days behind us, the day in front of us, the hard days we’ve endured, the next generation, and the work that remains.
You can’t add days to your life. But you can add wisdom to the days you have.
The only psalm Moses ever wrote gives us three truths and one prayer worth carrying into your week.
What makes someone unshakable when their life isn’t easy?
David wrote Psalm 27 while he was being hunted. And in the middle of it, he names the one prayer he wanted answered more than any other.
We all know how to pray when life is good. What about when you’re stuck, isolated, and it feels like no one notices?
David wrote Psalm 142 from a literal cave, running for his life. And from that cave, he gives us four prayers we can pray any time we find ourselves in one.
We often pray, “God, do something for me,” but sometimes God just wants to say something to us. And He speaks most clearly through His Word. In Psalm 119, David let Scripture become the foundation under every decision he made. This week we’re learning how to do the same. Because, when you start to see as God sees, His direction for your life finally makes sense.
Have you ever wondered where God is in the middle of your struggle? In Psalm 13, David shows us that faith isn’t pretending everything is okay-it’s bringing our pain to God and learning to trust Him in the silence.
You believe God is good. But your life isn’t always good. And the people who don’t even try to follow Him sometimes seem to be doing just fine. What do you do with that tension? Three thousand years ago, a worship leader named Asaph asked the same question and what he found might surprise you.
