However, the LORD’s “Nevertheless” (Psalm 89:33) trumps the ...read more

    The peaceable Kingdom.

    A SHOOT FROM THE ROOT. Isaiah 11:1-10. The reference to “the stem of Jesse” (Isaiah 11:1) sends us back to the origins of Messiah’s dynasty. Not just to David: but to his father, Jesse.

    FOLLOWING HARD AFTER GOD, EVEN IN THE MIDST OF TROUBLE. Psalm 63:1-11. As we enter into Psalm 63, there is both an intimacy with God, and a yearning after God.
