Share a comment Caves, closets, and courage meet in one sweeping story about refuge that holds when fear refuses to blink. We open with Corrie Ten Boom’s family watch shop in the Netherlands, where a secret room saved hundreds of Jewish neighbors and eventually led Corrie through prison, loss, and a line that still steadies the heart: there is no pit so deep that God is not deeper still. From there, we step into David’s cave at En Gedi and watch an almost unthinkable choice—an easy chance to ...

The Wisdom Journey
The Tear Collector (Psalm 56)
Share a comment Dark nights have a way of bending our sense of direction. We think we’re level, but the gauges tell another story. We take you to Psalm 56—David’s raw prayer from Gath—where fear doesn’t vanish, yet trust takes the lead. Through the lens of a real aviation tragedy and the metaphor of flying by instruments, we explore why instincts can betray you and how God’s word becomes the steady panel that keeps you from a graveyard spiral. We walk through David’s desperate choices, inclu...

The Wisdom Journey
Betrayal and the Urge to Bite Back (Psalms 52–55)
Send us a text Betrayal can make the world go dim in an instant—especially when it comes from someone who should have protected you. We follow David through Psalms 52–55 as he faces treachery from a ruthless opportunist, from his own tribe, and from a trusted friend. Along the way, we unpack a hard but hopeful truth: evil may boast, but God’s steadfast love endures all day. That conviction reshapes the urge to get even and redirects the heart toward a wiser, freer response. We start with Doe...

The Beautiful City of Zion (Psalms 48–50)
Send us a text What if the most important city in the world never tops the travel lists? We journey through Psalm 48–50 to show why Zion—Jerusalem—is called the city of the Great King and the joy of the whole earth, and why that claim reshapes how we think about power, security, worship, and hope. From ancient walls that made enemies tremble to the phrase sides of the north that subverts pagan myths, we trace how Scripture anchors Zion in God’s throne and unshakable promises. We then step in...

The Wisdom Journey
Pause Instead of Panic (Psalms 45–47)
Send us a text What if the loudest headline isn’t chaos but a coronation? We journey through Psalms 45–47 to move from panic to peace, from tight places to steady hope. Psalm 45 opens with a royal wedding that points beyond ancient Israel to Christ the King and the joy of a redeemed bride. Hebrews echoes its center line—Your throne, O God, is forever and ever—so we ground hope in the deity of Jesus and the permanence of his rule. From ceremony to shelter, Psalm 46 meets us where life feels c...

Dry Seasons and Discouraging Times (Psalms 42–44)
Send us a text When life turns upside down and prayers seem to echo in silence, where do you place your hope? We journey through Psalms 42–44 to face spiritual drought with honest words and a steady heart, exploring how ancient songs teach modern souls to trust and wait. We begin with the raw confession of a downcast spirit—tears by day and night, a mind rattled by inner turmoil, and the piercing question, “Where is your God?” Instead of hiding the pain, we learn to pray it. The sons of Korah...

The Wisdom Journey
Choosing Words of Praise (Psalm 39–41)
Send us a text Ever notice how trials make your world feel smaller and your words come out hotter? We explore how Psalms 39–41 expand that tight, anxious frame and turn impulsive speech into deliberate praise. David begins by wrestling with the tongue—acknowledging how quickly anger ignites—and then reframes the moment with a sober truth: life is brief, time is flying, and hope belongs in God. That shift doesn’t silence honesty; it disciplines it, so what we say builds wisdom rather than addi...

Walking in the Light (Psalms 36–38)
Send us a text Who has your ear, and where are they leading you? We trace a vivid path through Psalms 36–38 that starts with the seductive voice of sin, moves through the hard work of refusing outrage, and ends with the healing power of confession. Along the way, we contrast mud-puddle promises with the fountain of life, and darkness with the clarifying light of Christ, to show how listening shapes seeing and ultimately directs your steps. We begin with Psalm 36, where David exposes the inne...

A Prayer for the Justice of God (Psalm 33–35)
Send us a text Praise can lift the heart, but what do we do when hurt and injustice won’t let go? We walk through Psalms 33–35 and trace a real spiritual journey: joyful worship grounded in God’s creative power, a testimony of rescue and God’s nearness to the brokenhearted, and a raw, honest plea for justice when enemies strike without cause. Along the way, we talk about the tension many feel—how to love enemies without denying the reality of evil—and why biblical love includes a holy hatred ...

The Wisdom Journey
Eating Humble Pie (Psalm 30–32)
Send us a text Pride sneaks in sounding like confidence and leaves us feeling empty. We unpack how David’s story in Psalms 30–32 exposes the subtle drift from “God-centered” to “self-secure,” and why that shift always costs more than it promises. When David boasts, “In my prosperity, I shall never be moved,” the result isn’t strength but distance—God’s face hidden, joy fading, and a heart weighed down. Then comes the turn: God’s rescue, favor that outlasts anger, and a path back through hones...

Waiting on God (Psalms 27–29)
Send us a text What if waiting wasn’t wasted time but sacred training? We walk through Psalm 27–29 and trace a path from fear to courage, from isolation to community, and from noise to the clear voice of a God who is never late. David shows us how remembering God’s past rescue fuels present resolve, why worship is more than a song—it’s alignment—and how teachability turns delays into formation. Rather than rushing the yellow lights of life, we learn to ask for a level path we can actually wal...

The Wisdom Journey
Adopting the Testimony of David (Psalms 24–26)
Send us a text Gates lift, questions rise, and the path to God narrows to one clear doorway: grace. We follow David through Psalms 24–26 to ask who can stand in the holy place and discover why the answer isn’t the best performers but the forgiven. From Zion’s ridge to Calvary’s cross, we trace how political hills look mighty but real power rests where God’s presence dwells. Clean hands and a pure heart aren’t trophies we earn; they’re gifts we receive at the foot of the cross, where the King ...

From the Pasture to the Palace (Psalm 23:4-6)
Send us a text A world that feels sharp and unsafe can make faith sound like wishful thinking—until you hear Psalm 23 through a shepherd’s hands. We walk the path from “pasture to palace,” slowing down over each image David gives us: the valley of the shadow of death, a rod that means real authority, a staff that keeps us close, a mesa-table prepared in enemy territory, and a healing anointing that soothes hidden agony. What emerges is not sentiment but sturdy care: a Shepherd who confronts d...

Following the Best Shepherd Ever (Psalm 23:1-3)
Send us a text Start with a familiar line—“The Lord is my shepherd”—and watch it open into a fuller, sturdier vision of life with God than most of us expect. We explore how David’s joy in Psalm 23 confronts a restless world and reframes our deepest needs: guidance when we’re disoriented, protection when fear spikes, provision for the hunger that no achievement quiets, and restoration when we’re flat on our backs. Instead of slogans, we trace the concrete images of green pastures and still wat...

The Psalm of Christ’s Suffering (Psalm 22)
Send us a text Trouble has a way of forcing our loyalties into the open. We open Psalms 20–21 and walk a two-beat rhythm every believer knows: prayer before the fight, praise after the victory. Along the way, we trade the illusion of control—our “chariots and horses”—for the solid ground of God’s name, and we discover why allegiance to Christ is not just a feeling but a way of taking the next faithful step. We start with the day of trouble. David teaches us to ask for help and to anchor our ...

Long Live the King! (Psalms 20–21)
Send us a text When trouble looms and you feel outnumbered or overwhelmed, where do you place your trust? Psalm 20 is a call to prepare for battle by trusting in the name of the Lord. It reminds you that your confidence shouldn’t rest in chariots, horses, or human strength—but in the name, nature, and power of your God. Then Psalm 21 answers with praise after the victory. It’s a coronation psalm, a celebration of God’s deliverance and faithfulness. David lifts his voice in gratitude for answe...

Better than Gold . . . Sweeter than Honey (Psalm 19:8-14)
Send us a text What if the book on your shelf is worth more than a vault of gold and sweeter than a spoonful of honey? We walk through Psalm 19 to rethink our posture toward Scripture—moving from “I know that already” to “I can’t live without this.” Along the way, we confront a hard truth: most books inform, but only one transforms. That shift—from information to transformation—changes how we see guidance, joy, and wisdom in a noisy world. We start with the two “books” God gives us. Creation...

The Voice of Creation (Psalm 19:1-8)
Send us a text A star-filled sky can feel like a mirror for our fears—vast, cold, indifferent. Psalm 19 pushes back with a daring claim: the heavens aren’t silent at all. They testify. The sky proclaims. Creation is more than scenery; it’s a witness to God’s glory, wisdom, and grace. We walk through that cosmic sermon and then shift to the clarity of Scripture, where God doesn’t just hint—He speaks with a personal name and a steady invitation. We begin by setting Carl Sagan’s famous words be...

Keeping Our Inheritance in Mind (Psalms 16–18)
Send us a text Threats, false accusations, and long delays have a way of shrinking our world to the size of our fears. We open Psalms 16–18 and watch David do something different: he prays honestly, remembers his inheritance, and lets resurrection hope redraw the map of his day. That pivot—from fixing problems to fixing our eyes—changes how we speak, drive, wait, and even how we pray for people who oppose us. We start with a short, brave plea from Psalm 16: “Preserve me, O God,” and trace ho...
