Finding Joy in Him. Sunday, May 17, 2015. Finding Comfort in the Maker of the Mountains. In my hardest, darkest days the only thing that comforts me is meditating on who God is. A song of ascents. 1 I lift up my eyes to the mountains—. Where does my help come from? 2 My help comes from the Lord,. The Maker of heaven and earth. 3 He will not let your foot slip—. He who watches over you will not slumber;. 4 indeed, he who watches over Israel. Will neither slumber nor sleep. Nor the moon by night. Now we se...

Finding Joy in Him. Friday, April 18, 2014. Good Friday: His Stunning Suffering Love. One of the first things I learned after losing Joel was that we grieve deeply because we love deeply. Isaiah 53:3 He was despised and rejected by others, and a man of sorrows, intimately familiar with suffering; and like one from whom people hide their faces; and we despised him and did not value him.

Finding Joy in Him. Wednesday, November 26, 2014. Life Verses Life Lessons.
