When Mourning Continues into the Morning

July 30, 2015July 31, 2015 / mikelumpkin / Leave a comment

Sing praises to the Lord, O you his saints, and give thanks to his holy name. For his anger is but for a moment, and his favor is for a lifetime. Weeping may tarry for the night, but joy comes with the morning. Psalm 30:4-5 I love the hope and determination of this passage.  For … Continue reading When Mourning Continues into the Morning

Lord, do me a favor!

July 28, 2015 / mikelumpkin / Leave a comment

What does it mean to have the Lord's favor?  What kind of "favors" do we ask of the Lord, and on what basis?  Do we even ask?

In some ways it reminds me of the best of fantasy/dystopian literature.  It's dark, frightening, and borderline hopeless.  In fact, if it weren't for verse 7, you'd wonder what good Psalm 14 can accomplish besides, at best, just stating the facts.  Well, every verse matters, because when God's mercy … Continue reading Future Hope Trumps Present Evil

When You Can’t See Ahead…Look Back

July 9, 2015July 10, 2015 / mikelumpkin / 1 Comment

I used to know what "hope" looked like.  I had pictures in my head of what life looked like when God came through with keeping promises.  That future portrait isn't as clear as it once was.  I need to look through a different lens. We all have a little "extra" we put on the basic promises … Continue reading When You Can’t See Ahead…Look Back
