Psalm 36:10

When we talk about Adam, we often think of the fall, of sin. But Adam was created, wanted by God. He was the first man He loved. We can discover God through his story.

As we praise God today, let's keep in mind the heavenly worship service we'll one day take part in: “Worthy is the Lamb who was slain . . . !” (see Revelation 5:11-12). Here's how we praise, says Charles Spurgeon: “We simply say what [God] is! ‘You are this and You are that.’ There is no other praise.” Why not invite friends and family to “join the chorus” with you?

The healthy Christian life is one of continuing growth. But so many feel stuck at one stage of the journey making it difficult to move forward. Christian ministry founders and psychotherapists Bill and Kristi Gaultiere help us to identify our current stage of faith and where to take our next steps. No matter the place you find yourself, together we’ll begin the new journey to spiritual, emotional, and relational freedom.

Reading and praying the Psalms is a humble pilgrimage. The various authors, including King David, share their innermost thoughts and struggles in their relationships with others and the One True God. They doubt. They ask questions. They marvel. They believe. Don’t we do the same? Ancient writings? Yes. But relevant for each of us today. Each day’s study includes an option to pray through that day’s Psalm with grace-filled intentionality.
