Psalm 145:21 (NLT) I will praise the Lord, and may everyone on earth bless his holy name forever and ever. It’s fitting as we come to the end of our 21 Days of Psalm 145, in the Breathing Room with Jesus, that David ends his song of praise the...
Psalm 145:20 (NLT) The Lord protects all those who love him, but he destroys the wicked. There are only 2 kinds of people in this world: protected and unprotected. Protected people are those who love God and whom God sees as righteous. Unprotected people—those who do not love God,...

Psalm 145:15 (NLT) The eyes of all look to you in hope; you give them their food as they need it. I’m hungry for something, but I don’t what for. So, I go to the panty and search, hoping to find something that might satisfy what’s growling inside...
Psalm 145:13b-14 (NLT) The Lord always keeps his promises; he is gracious in all he does. The Lord helps the fallen and lifts those bent beneath their loads. I learned something from my man 20 years ago when we first began dating. He taught a Sunday morning Bible class at...
