Psalm 43

Psalm 43:5
Why are you cast down, O my soul,
    and why are you in turmoil within me?
Hope in God; for I shall again praise him,
    my salvation and my God. 

Where is your heart at today? Are you struggling with discouragement. This verse is a wonderful verse of hope. The Psalmist is struggling in his life. He feels rejected by God, yet knows that his hope is found in God alone.

Take a moment to evaluate your own heart, listen to this song and praise your living hope!

God Has a Plan

Have you ever traced your family ancestry back into the past? What about 42 generations in the past? In the beginning of Matthew we see the genealogy of Jesus. But you know what else we see?

The people mentioned in the genealogy of Jesus were not perfect people. Remember the story of Jacob, who deceived his father Isaac into blessing him instead of his brother? Or what about Rahab who was a prostitute…David and Bathsheba? People are not perfect, we often make mistakes but our God can take those mistakes and somehow bring good out of them for HIS glor...
