I look to the mountains; where will my help come from?

My help will come from the Lord, who made heaven and earth.

He will not let you fall; your Protector is always awake.

The Protector of Israel never dozes or sleeps.

The Lord will guard you; He is by your side to protect you.

The sun will not hurt you during the day, nor the moon during the night.

The Lord will protect you from all danger; He will keep you safe.
He will protect you as you come and go now and forever.

         Psalm 121 (GNT)

Dear friends,

It has been several weeks since i posted. Many of you know that i have been walking through health challenges. By God’s grace, and in His strength, i am now able to share with you that He has carried me through these most recent developments. He has used this time to remind me just how faithful He is, and just how dependent i am upon Him.

Regardless of our battle or circumstance, we are all dependent upon Him—first and foremost. The question He placed before me was—do i seek Him first or do i seek Him last? i’d like to report to you that i always seek Him first, but He showed me that was not always the case. Two weeks ago as i laid in a hospital bed, He reminded me of this promise in the Psalms.

i pray He encourages you with this assurance and promise to you as well!

In the coming weeks, please be watching for the release of my 28th book—A Psalmist Called Asaph (the final book in The Called series)—on February 28th. Also—though i do not plan to continue weekly posts to my blog, i do plan to periodically share truths that we all need to be reminded of as we walk through the wildernesses of our lives—“now and forever.”
