Thine, O Lord is the greatness, and the power, and the glory, and the victory, and the majesty: for all that is in the heaven and in the earth is thine; thine is the kingdom, O Lord, and thou art exalted as head above all.
1 Chronicles 29

a memory from 2018
Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted in me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him for the help of his countenance.
Deep calleth unto deep at the noise of thy waterspouts: all thy waves and thy billows are gone over me.
Praise him. I needed a word of encouragement tonight, and it came straight from the intercessor.
-from 2018, looking in the Parallel Classic Commentary on the Psalms.

verse of the day: June 3, 2023
A soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger. -KJV
A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger. -NIV
Proverbs 15
Indeed, we hold to the adage that the truth is the best course, but so often, the truth is barked in anger, intending to hurt someone; the same words, often with a different tact, have less of a hurtful result.
The truth, however hurtful, can be much less hurtful if spoken in love.

On Mercy.
If you've found mercy, or received mercy,
don't you think it feels too good--its too pleasant--
to just keep to oneself?
Share it.
Share the blessing.
Be a blessing.
putting the divine awe into words, AW Tozer.
Webster's Unabridged Dictionary lists 550,000 words. And it is a solemn and beautiful thought that in our worship of God there sometimes rush up from the depths of our souls feelings that all this wealth of words is not sufficient to express. To be articulate at certain times we are compelled to fall back upon "Oh!" or "O!"—a primitive exclamatory sound that is hardly a word at all and that scarcely admits of a definition.
-AW Tozer
verse of the day, June 1 2023
And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
-Revelation 21
