  • Daily Dose of Encouragement: Psalm 9:2

    Psalm 9:2 “2 I will be glad and rejoice in thee: I will sing praise to thy name, O thou most High.” I love how the Psalmists sing praise to God continuously, even in the hard times. Oh, they also lament, but then turn back to praise. This verse encouraged my heart to be glad,…

  • Daily Dose of Encouragement: Psalm 57:6-8

    What a blessing Psalm 57 has been to me this week. I love how David doesn’t gloss over his hardship. He faces it head on. He admits that he is overwhelmed. Let’s read Psalm 57:6-8. “6 They have prepared a net for my steps; my soul is bowed down: they have digged a pit before me,…
