I don’t want to build a house in vain. I want the Lord to build the house; he knows what my foundation should be. He is in heaven and I am on earth...

Unbridled belly laughs and unquenchable shouts of joy are our responses to the overwhelming news that the Lord has accomplished amazing things. This is why we want all the world to know...

We stand on a firm foundation and we are surrounded by protective mountains; however, we exist in the context of a broken world. Tears, death, mourning, crying, pain, and all manner of evidence of brokenness permeate our lives.

...we are not talking about facing difficulty by human means. David seeks to trust only in the name of the Lord.

Embedded in the hearts of both the servant and maidservant is complete trust. And obedience.

Why are we glad to go to the house of the Lord? Why do we choose to gather with our community? Ultimately, we have a powerful King with sound judgment upon the throne. Our feet will stand firm.

Our God is trustworthy. He is a firm foundation to help us stand. When in need, place your feet on his firm support.

When life’s storms come, where you turn belies your heart. The psalmist turns to the Lord in distress.

Even during loss, keep his ways according to his word. With your whole heart.

Psalm 118 is replete with so many exclamations of the reasons for gratitude. His light is shining upon us, his people.
