God’s Love Lasts a Loooooong Time

If you’re ever feeling down or wondering whether God really loves you, here’s an awesome little Psalm to pray through.

See if you can spot the central theme. (Hint: It’s repeated a few times for people with brains like mine that tend to wander a bit.)

for he is good.
His love endures forever.

But a Breath

Show me, O Lord,
my life’s end

let me know how fleeting my life is.
You have made my days

is nothing before you.
Everyone is but a breath,

SHEEPISHNESS

It’s SHEEPISHNESS WEEK here on GUWG.

Sheep are literally all over the Bible. They’re mentioned more often — precisely 200 times — than any other Bible animal. In fact, as unflattering as it may seem, we humans are repeatedly likened to those four-legged fuzzballs.

Accordingly, this week here on GUWG we’ll be taking an in-depth look at the spiritual significance of these humble but not-all-that-bright creatures.

Pray the Bible

PRAYER-O-RAMA 2017 continues here on GUWG where for the next week we’ll be praying through some of the most inspiring sections of Scripture together.
