Life Changes

Well I’ve been silent recently and I apologize for that. I have been putting a lot of time in on other projects. The biggest thing that has happened here this month is my wife and I are now parents. We welcomed our little girl, Sophia, into our family on the 6th. We are so excited, there aren’t even words to express what we both feel about her.

This has led to the Psalm that I posted earlier this week and I have a new Thought in the works to express some of what I’ve been feeling and learning. This should be up tomorrow or sometime soon this week.

Really though what I have been up to has been working on the Epistle of Jude. I have been running it through edits and writing notes. As I am part of the Editorial Team over at Breath of God Ministries I have been putting a lot of time in on that book. I also wrote a commentary on the book that I will be coming out with shortly, but has been used to make study notes for the Breath of God Study Bible. You can read all about what we have done on their post about the project. The next thing to tackle on that front will be Ruth. You can find more information on their website.

My goals for the next few weeks are

  1. Finish my Thought that I have already started.
  2. Put the Commentary on Jude through its last few rounds of editing, then Post it here
  3. Continue working on the Gospel of John
  4. Work on Ruth

I hope that you will appreciate what I have to say regarding Jude and what I have been learning.

PSALM 28

A Praise for a Daughter

O LORD, I thank You for Your blessings
All the blessings I receive from You

Thank You, LORD, for my daughter
Thank You for this child You have given me

LORD, I praise You for the glimpse at Your heart
For the look at Your unceasing love for Your children

Father, Your sacrifice means all the more to me
The love for Your children, even when we do not deserve it

Father, You gave up Your Son for me
You allowed Jesus to be crucified for us

My Lord, I can only guess at the agony
I can only grasp at understanding the pain

LORD, I praise You for this little one
Father, I thank You for my daughter

PSALM 25

O LORD, I lift up my circumstances to You,
You, who are in control of all things,

LORD, in my darkest hour, You are near,
In my happiest moment, You are near,

Now, LORD, I lift up this struggle,
Your steadfast love will see me through,

My LORD, my God, I don’t feel Your presence
O LORD, the God of my fathers, I can’t see your face,

Lift me out of the quake,
Put my feet on the firm foundation,

LORD, to you do I cling,
On You will I always place my trust,

LORD, in darkest hour I will praise You,
In the very midst of my despair I will worship You.

PSALM 24

My God stands above all things,
What can compare with Him?

The heavens point to His glory,
The earth reveals His greatness,

He stands above all,
Nothing is His equal,

The LORD, my God, is awesome,
The words of my tongue fall short,

In His grace I wish to abide,
Nowhere else can I reside,

I call out to Him,
His answer is swift,

His love encompasses my soul,
My God has no equal,

Without ceasing I search for Your heart,

O LORD, I praise You for joy,
For the joy that comes from You.

PSALM 21


A Praise for Adversity

LORD, Your tenderness brings me to sing Your praise,
Your kindness inspires me to worship You.

LORD, what my enemies intended for evil,
You worked for my good.

Father in the midst of my adversity,
I sing Your praises with my whole voice.

Though I must I walk through this struggle,
My heart is glad because of Your provision.

My gracious, loving Abba Father,
How You protect me in all circumstances.

My wonderful, beautiful Savior,
How You cover me totally in Your grace.

My LORD, my God I thank You,
My Father, my Savior I praise You.
