His Holy Presence

Posted on March 1, 2026 by bigskybuckeye

From Isaiah 58:2: “Yet day after day they seek Me and delight to know My ways, as if they were a nation that practiced righteousness and did not forsake the ordinance of their God; they ask of Me righteous judgments; they want God on their side.”

Throughout each night

Knowing God always near

Mercy rises in darkness

Trusting as His love always steers

Early dawn wakens

Fulfilling God’s glory

Witnessing His blessed light

Writing faith’s renewing story

Sabbath brings delight

Reading God’s divine Word

Praising His Holy presence

Finding peace with everything heard

Are there areas in our lives–whatever our ages–in which we need fresh growth? Focus on that area, memorize Scripture on that topic, pray for maturity, and ask God for a “growth spurt” in your life.

From 1 Peter 2:2: “Like newborn infants, long for the pure, spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow into salvation.”

David Jeremiah (born 1941) is an American pastor and Christian author.

Monday Memories: Attitude of Praise

Posted on January 26, 2026 by bigskybuckeye

From Psalm 111:1: “Praise the Lord! I will give thanks to the Lord with my whole heart, in the company of the upright, in the congregation.”

Pessimistic and gloomy attitude

One negative brick follows another

Suffocating and negative self-talk

Sounding more like Eeyore’s little brother

Time for transforming callous attitude

With praise and thanksgiving, eyes upon God

His Grace offering truest Bread of Life

Believe, follow, accept His blessed rod

Breathing in our Lord’s trusted, living Word

Dropping negativity’s jagged sword

Accepting our Father’s mercy and love

Trading bitterness for His sweet accord

Learning from God’s Holy teachings and creeds

Feeling His just and faithful, love-filled works

Listening to each breath, His spoken Word

Maturing in faith’s righteous masterworks

Embracing God’s eternal covenant

Studying His Word, bearing full delight

Celebrating Him with salutations

Singing with attitude of praise, now right

From Psalm 111:10: “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom; all those who practice it have a good understanding. His praise endures forever.”

David Jeremiah Quote

Posted on November 17, 2025 by bigskybuckeye

With God’s help, we can cultivate our thoughts, pulling up weeds and planting the fertile soil of His Word.

From Colossians 2:6-7: “As you therefore have received Christ Jesus the Lord, continue to walk in Him, rooted and built up in Him and established in the faith, just as you were taught, abounding in thanksgiving.”
