Psalm 136
I’m taking a break from writing again today to look at something someone else wrote. I love the poetry and lyrics of David. “O give thanks to the Lord, for he is good, for his steadfast love endures for ever. O give thanks to the God of gods, for his steadfast love endures for ever.…

“I will heal their backsliding, I will love them freely: for mine anger is turned away from him.” Hosea 14:4 This verse has always been a favorite of mine. I hate discovering that I’m sliding backwards into old patterns of defeat that God already conquered. I long to be free of this, and I love…
