A God-Glorifying Thanksgiving
Psalm 116 is a psalm of David which was written toward the end of his life. It was written when, because of his own guilt, he was banished from the temple and fleeing from his son Absalom. In that fleeing he became so low before God that when the enemy cursed him, David could say, “Let ...
New Year’s Eve—Staying Behind
Our thoughts go out to a man named Jacob. We read that he stayed behind at the brook Jabbok. All his possessions, his wives, children, and cattle have crossed the brook. Why is he remaining behind? He is afraid, and if you ask why he is afraid, he is thinking back to what has happened ...
