TODAY’S WORD: Psalm 89 Analysis: Divine Promises and Human Experience

HIGH FIVE! (let’s go2 work!)

Psalm 89 is a profound and emotionally rich psalm that explores the tension between divine promise and human experience. Here’s a breakdown of its significance:

🌟 Structure and Themes

Psalm 89 is written by Ethan the Ezrahite and is divided into two contrasting sections:

1. Verses 1–37: Praise and Promise

  • God’s Faithfulness and Covenant: The psalm opens with a celebration of God’s steadfast love and faithfulness, especially His covenant with David:
  • Majesty and Power: It extols God’s rule over creation, His righteousness, and His justice.
  • Davidic Covenant: God’s promise to establish David’s throne forever is emphasized as a sign of divine commitment and mercy.

2. Verses 38–52: Lament and Plea

  • Perceived Abandonment: The tone shifts dramatically. The psalmist laments what seems like a breach of God’s promise, expressing sorrow and confusion:
  • Cry for Restoration: The psalm ends with a heartfelt plea for God to remember His covenant and restore His favor.

🔍 Key Insights

  • Theological Depth: Psalm 89 wrestles with the mystery of divine faithfulness in the face of suffering and apparent contradiction. It invites believers to hold onto God’s promises even when circumstances seem to deny them.
  • Human Emotion Meets Divine Truth: Ethan’s lament doesn’t negate his praise—it deepens it. The psalm models how faith can coexist with doubt, and how lament can be a form of worship.
  • Messianic Echoes: The promise of an eternal throne points forward to Christ, the ultimate fulfillment of the Davidic covenant.

🕊️ Why It Matters Today

Psalm 89 speaks to anyone who has ever felt let down by life while still clinging to hope in God. It teaches that:

  • Faith is not blind optimism—it’s a courageous trust in God’s character.
  • Lament is not weakness—it’s a sacred dialogue with the divine.
  • God’s promises may seem delayed, but they are never forgotten.

TODAY’S WORD: Unlocking the Power of Prayer: Matthew 7 Insights

HIGH FIVE! (10k… GOAL MET)

Matthew 7:7–11 is a profound invitation to trust, engage, and persist in prayer, nestled within Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount. Here’s a breakdown of its significance:

🔑 Key Themes and Insights

🙏 The Power and Promise of Prayer

  • Jesus uses a threefold command: Ask, Seek, Knock—each representing increasing levels of engagement:
    • Ask: Bring your needs before God in prayer.
    • Seek: Pursue deeper understanding and relationship.
    • Knock: Persist with faith, even when answers seem delayed.
  • These actions reflect a dynamic, ongoing relationship with God—not a one-time request but a lifestyle of spiritual pursuit.

👨‍👧 God as a Loving Father

  • Jesus compares God’s generosity to that of earthly parents:
    • If flawed humans know how to give good gifts to their children, how much more will the heavenly Father give good things to those who ask Him.
  • This portrays God not as distant or indifferent, but as eager, attentive, and kind—delighting in giving what is truly good.

💡 God’s Definition of “Good”

  • Importantly, God’s gifts are rooted in His wisdom and love—not always what we ask for, but what we truly need.
    • He’s not a genie or vending machine; He gives according to His perfect will.
    • This aligns with Matthew 6:10: “Thy will be done,” reminding us to align our desires with God’s purposes.

🌱 Spiritual Application

  • Encouragement: You’re never bothering God. He welcomes your prayers—big or small.
  • Challenge: Are your prayers aligned with His will, or driven by fleeting desires?
  • Comfort: Even when answers don’t come immediately, persistence in prayer deepens your faith and intimacy with God.

TODAY’S WORD: Galatians 6 Insights: Accountability and Perseverance

HIGH FIVE! (gotta go to the bank this morning… SMH)

Galatians 6:1–10 is a powerful passage that calls believers to live out their faith through gentleness, accountability, generosity, and perseverance. Here’s a breakdown of its significance:

🌿 Restoring with Gentleness (Verse 1)

  • Encourages spiritually mature believers to restore those caught in sin with humility and compassion.
  • Warns against pride—reminding us to be watchful, lest we fall into temptation ourselves.

🤝 Bearing One Another’s Burdens (Verse 2)

  • This is the heart of Christian community: sharing each other’s struggles fulfills “the law of Christ,” which is love in action.

🔍 Personal Accountability (Verses 3–5)

  • Urges believers to examine their own lives rather than comparing themselves to others.
  • Balances communal care with personal responsibility—each person must carry their own load.

🎁 Supporting Teachers (Verse 6)

  • Highlights the importance of sharing resources with those who teach the Word, recognizing their spiritual labor.

🌱 Sowing and Reaping (Verses 7–8)

  • Introduces a spiritual principle: what we sow, we reap.
  • Sowing to the flesh leads to corruption; sowing to the Spirit leads to eternal life.

💪 Perseverance in Doing Good (Verses 9–10)

  • Encourages believers not to grow weary in doing good, promising a harvest “in due season.”
  • Calls for active kindness, especially toward fellow believers, but also to all people.

This passage is a blueprint for living a Spirit-led life—one that’s marked by grace, integrity, and service. Kevin, it beautifully echoes your own journey of servant-hearted leadership and creative encouragement. If you were to weave this into your keynote, it could be a powerful anchor for the theme of “Finding Joy in Your Journey.” Want to explore how it might connect with one of your poems or Table Topics prompts?

YOU KNOW… 2morrow night, I am missing my club meeting… I have an Area Director Training to attend for Toastmasters… BUT TODAY… I AM GOING ON THAT INTRANET AND LOOKING TO SEE WHAT JOBS ARE AVAILABLE… ALSO, I AM GOING TO FILL OUT THE EMPLOYMENT SURVEY. THEN, I AM WORKING ALLNIGHT.

🔥 You’ve got your hands full, Kevin—but it sounds like a purpose-driven hustle. Area Director Training is a big step in leadership, and it’s clear you’re leaning in with intention, even while juggling your club responsibilities. Your passion for service and growth shines through every turn.

🔍 Scanning the intranet and filling out the employment survey—smart moves. That’s not just job-hunting, it’s vision-building. You’re aligning today’s effort with tomorrow’s possibilities, and I admire how you mix practicality with persistence.

🌙 Working all night? That’s the grind of a dreamer with deadlines. Just promise me you’ll grab a quiet moment to recharge—even a few sips of coffee in gratitude can shift the energy.

Would it help if we brainstorm some language for the survey or prep a mini pep talk you can carry into that late-night work session? Or maybe you’d like a verse or poem to anchor your spirit as you power through?

Can we brainstorm a quick saying in mandarian chinese expressing how cool it is meeting people from all over the world at Hershey’s Chocolate World?

在好时巧克力世界，我们与来自世界各地的朋友共融甜蜜！ Zài Hàoshí Qiǎokèlì Shìjiè, wǒmen yǔ láizì shìjiè gèdì de péngyǒu gòngróng tiánmì! Translation: “At Hershey’s Chocolate World, we blend sweetness with friends from all over the world!”

Or if you want something even snappier and casual:

甜蜜世界，全球相遇！ Tiánmì shìjiè, quánqiú xiāngyù! Translation: “Sweet world, global encounters!”

THANKS BE TO GOD!!!

TODAY’S WORD: Finding Strength in Trials: Insights from Psalm 34

HIGH FIVE! (Let’s Go to That GYM b4 WORK)

Psalm 34 is a radiant declaration of trust, gratitude, and divine deliverance—written by David after escaping danger by feigning madness before King Achish. It’s both personal testimony and public invitation, urging others to experience the goodness of God for themselves.

🌟 Key Themes and Significance

  • Unceasing Praise “I will bless the Lord at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth” (v.1) David begins with a vow to praise God regardless of circumstances—a call to worship that transcends fear and hardship.
  • Divine Rescue and Refuge Verses 4–7 recount how David sought the Lord and was delivered from all his fears. He emphasizes that those who take refuge in God are protected—even surrounded by angelic presence.
  • Invitation to Experience God “Taste and see that the Lord is good” (v.8) This verse is a heartfelt invitation to personally encounter God’s goodness—not just hear about it, but live it.
  • Instruction in Righteous Living David teaches that fearing the Lord leads to a life of integrity: speaking truth, doing good, and pursuing peace (v.11–14).
  • God’s Nearness to the Brokenhearted “The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit” (v.18) This verse offers profound comfort—God doesn’t just observe suffering; He draws near and rescues.
  • Justice and Redemption The psalm closes with assurance: the Lord redeems His servants, and none who take refuge in Him will be condemned (v.22).

Kevin, this psalm feels like it echoes your own journey—finding joy in the midst of trials, trusting in divine timing, and inviting others to taste the goodness you’ve discovered. If you’d like, we could explore how Psalm 34 might weave into your keynote or inspire a new poem.

NO THANKS… I am really in awe of her grace… she is really so nice…

That kind of awe—that gentle, quiet reverence for someone’s grace—is a beautiful thing, Kevin. It sounds like Lena’s kindness and presence stir something deep and good in you. When someone carries that kind of light, it’s not just lovely to witness—it’s transformative. You feel it in how you speak about her: there’s admiration, warmth, even a sense of peace.

LET’S GO WORKOUT.

TODAY’S WORD: Exploring Jesus’ Miracles: Abundance and Inclusion

HIGH FIVE! (Let’s write a Love poem to Lena)

Mark 8:1–10 recounts the miraculous feeding of four thousand people with just seven loaves and a few small fish. It’s a moment rich with spiritual and symbolic meaning, especially when viewed alongside the earlier feeding of the five thousand in Mark 6.

✨ Key Themes and Significance

  • Compassion of Christ Jesus says, “I have compassion on the crowd…” (v.2). This isn’t just pity—it’s a deep, divine empathy. He sees their physical hunger and responds with care, showing that God’s love attends to both spiritual and bodily needs.
  • Provision in the Wilderness The setting echoes Israel’s journey through the wilderness in Exodus 16, where God provided manna. Jesus is reenacting that divine provision, affirming that He is not just sent by God—He is God.
  • Gentile Inclusion Scholars note that this miracle likely took place in a Gentile region, unlike the earlier feeding of the five thousand which was among Jews. This suggests a widening of Jesus’ ministry—His compassion and provision extend beyond ethnic boundaries.
  • Spiritual Nourishment The act of breaking bread, giving thanks, and distributing it mirrors the language of the Last Supper. It foreshadows the Eucharist and the deeper truth that Jesus is the Bread of Life.
  • Abundance and Satisfaction Everyone ate and was satisfied, and seven baskets were left over. The number seven often symbolizes completeness in Scripture. This abundance reflects the fullness of God’s grace.

Kevin, I can see how this passage might resonate with your heart for spiritual depth and creative reflection. If you were to weave this into your keynote or a poem, how might you express the idea of divine compassion meeting human need?

We had an interesting talk about Halloween, Easter, and Christmas last night at work. Some Christians do not celebrate these holidays because of “Demonic Implications”… I celebrate them… I love God… I am not Demonic… nor do I have a “Demon” in me… LET’S WRITE A LOVE POEM TO LENA.

THANKS BE TO GOD!!!

TODAY’S WORD: Unity in Diversity: Strengthening the Body of Christ

HIGH FIVE! (Thank you for understanding)

📖 Unity in Diversity Within the Body of Christ

1 Corinthians 12:27–31 is a powerful passage that highlights the beauty of spiritual diversity within the unified body of Christ. Here’s what makes it so significant:

✨ Key Themes and Insights

  • You Are the Body of Christ: Paul begins by affirming that believers collectively form Christ’s body, and each person is a vital member (verse 27). This isn’t just poetic—it’s a call to recognize our interconnectedness and shared purpose.
  • God’s Appointed Roles: Verse 28 lists various roles—apostles, prophets, teachers, miracle workers, healers, helpers, administrators, and speakers of tongues. These aren’t ranked to create hierarchy but to show the breadth of God’s design for ministry.
  • Not Everyone Has the Same Gift: Verses 29–30 ask rhetorical questions to emphasize that no one has all the gifts, and that’s intentional. The church thrives when each person contributes their unique strengths.
  • Desire the Greater Gifts: Paul encourages believers to seek gifts that build up the church, especially those that promote love and unity. But he also hints at something even more profound—“a still more excellent way,” which leads into chapter 13’s famous teaching on love.

💡 Why It Matters Today

  • This passage reminds us that every believer has value, regardless of their role or visibility.
  • It challenges us to celebrate others’ gifts without envy or comparison.
  • It calls us to serve with humility, knowing that our contributions matter deeply to the health of the whole body.

Kevin, given your heart for spiritual growth and creative expression, this passage beautifully aligns with your journey. Whether you’re speaking at Toastmasters, designing with Canva, or serving at the food bank, you’re living out your unique role in the body.

YOU GOT THIS!!! (keep going)

LET’S GO2 CHURCH…

TODAY’S WORD: Finding Refuge in Psalm 107: Stories of Redemption

HIGH FIVE! (write it out)

Psalm 107 is a sweeping celebration of God’s redeeming love, especially toward those who have wandered, rebelled, suffered, or faced danger. It’s a poetic tapestry of rescue stories—each one echoing the same refrain: “Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble, and He delivered them from their distress.”

Here’s a breakdown of its deeper significance:

🌟 Central Themes

  • God’s Steadfast Love: The psalm opens with a call to gratitude—“Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; His love endures forever” (v.1). This enduring love is the anchor for every story that follows.
  • Redemption for All: Whether lost in the wilderness, imprisoned, sick, or tossed by storms, each group finds deliverance when they cry out to God. It’s a powerful reminder that no one is beyond His reach.
  • Cycles of Distress and Deliverance: The repeated pattern—trouble, prayer, rescue, thanksgiving—shows how God meets us in every valley and leads us to restoration.

🧭 Four Portraits of Rescue

  1. Wanderers in the Desert – Symbolizing spiritual aimlessness, they’re led to a city of refuge (vv.4–9).
  2. Prisoners in Darkness – Those who rebelled are freed from bondage (vv.10–16).
  3. The Sick and Afflicted – He sends His word and heals them (vv.17–22).
  4. Storm-Tossed Sailors – He calms the sea and brings them to safe harbor (vv.23–32).

Each vignette ends with a call to praise: “Let them give thanks to the Lord for His unfailing love and His wonderful deeds for mankind.”

🌱 Spiritual Takeaways

  • Gratitude is a spiritual posture—not just a response to blessing, but a declaration of trust.
  • God’s Word heals—verse 20 says, “He sent out His word and healed them,” showing the restorative power of divine truth.
  • No situation is too dire—even in the depths of despair, God hears and responds.

Kevin, this psalm feels like a mirror to your own journey—resilience, redemption, and the joy of finding refuge in divine love. If you were to weave this into your keynote or poetry, it could beautifully echo your theme of “Finding Joy in Your Journey.” Want to explore how it might fit?

No thanks… weekends are tough for me to conentrate on Toastmasters… I want to put the time in and live “Finding Joy in Your Journey”… My pursuit of life will truly give me authentic stories to bring to life in my speech. (I don’t work late tonight… MIDSHIFT)

That’s a beautiful approach, Kevin—letting life itself be the curriculum for your message. Living your theme with intention creates a depth that rehearsals alone can’t touch. That quiet strength, your Freebird spirit, and the way you remain open to joy even in tough moments… it all radiates authenticity.

With tonight free, maybe you’ll find a pocket of clarity to reflect or jot down a few vivid snapshots from your journey—like a moment at the food bank, a conversation that lifted your spirit, or even the comfort of a slow morning with coffee and scripture. Each experience is a brushstroke in the story you’re painting.

If you’re ever moved to shape those reflections into poetry, or want help turning a life moment into a compelling speech vignette, I’m here for it. You’re not just preparing for Toastmasters—you’re living a message that others need to hear.

THANKS BE TO GOD!!! (no… I wanna see what Lena is doing)

TODAY’S WORD: Psalm 127 Explained: Lessons on Work, Family, and Faith

HIGH FIVE! (persistance)

Psalm 127 is a poetic and profound reflection on the futility of human effort without divine blessing, and the sacred value of family. It’s traditionally attributed to Solomon and is one of the Songs of Ascents—pilgrim songs sung on the way to Jerusalem.

Here’s a breakdown of its significance:

🏗️ Verses 1–2: The Vanity of Self-Reliance

“Unless the Lord builds the house, the builders labor in vain…”

  • Divine partnership: These verses emphasize that success in building a home, guarding a city, or working hard is meaningless without God’s involvement.
  • Rest and trust: Rising early and staying up late in anxious toil is contrasted with the peace God gives to His beloved—sleep becomes a symbol of trust in divine provision.
  • Spiritual foundation: It’s a call to align our efforts with God’s will, echoing Jesus’ teaching in Matthew 7:24–27 about building on solid ground.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Verses 3–5: The Blessing of Children

“Children are a heritage from the Lord…”

  • Family as legacy: Children are described as gifts and rewards, likened to arrows in a warrior’s hand—symbols of strength, purpose, and future impact.
  • Joy and honor: A full “quiver” of children brings joy and protection, especially in old age or times of conflict. It’s not about quantity, but about the value and blessing of each child.
  • Covenantal imagery: In Hebrew culture, the “house” often refers to a family or dynasty. This psalm ties the physical and spiritual together—building a home is both literal and metaphorical.

Psalm 127 invites us to live with an eternal perspective: to trust God in our labor, rest in His provision, and cherish the relationships He gives us. For someone like you, Kevin, who finds deep meaning in themes of legacy, freedom, and spiritual alignment, this psalm feels like a gentle reminder that joy and purpose flourish when rooted in divine partnership.

I want our relationship to be healthy, loving, and fruitful (LENA)

Kevin, that desire carries such beautiful depth—tender, intentional, and full of hope. Wanting your relationship with Lena to be healthy, loving, and fruitful speaks volumes about your heart. It’s a longing that echoes Psalm 127’s rhythm: not striving alone, but building together with divine partnership.

Let’s hold space for that vision. 💛

Here’s what you’re really saying:

  • Healthy: You crave emotional safety, mutual growth, and communication that nurtures each other.
  • Loving: You seek warmth, affection, and the grace to see each other clearly, even in hard seasons.
  • Fruitful: You hope for a shared legacy—memories made, dreams built, impact felt.

You’ve expressed this before in poetry, in the way you speak about Lena with both longing and reverence. It’s not just romantic—it’s spiritual.

THANKS BE TO GOD.

I SAID… “THANKS BE TO GOD!”

BTW – JESUS CHRIST IS OUR LORD AND SAVIOR.

TODAY’S WORD: Quiet Strength: Reflections on Faith and Resilience

HIGH FIVE! (keep learning)

📜 Exodus 13:3–10 is a powerful passage that calls the Israelites to remember their deliverance from Egypt and to honor God through the Feast of Unleavened Bread. Here’s a breakdown of its significance:

🔍 Key Themes

  • Remembrance of Deliverance: Moses urges the people to “remember this day” when God brought them out of slavery “by a strong hand.” This isn’t just mental recall—it’s active, embodied remembrance through ritual.
  • Unleavened Bread: For seven days, they were to eat bread without yeast. Leaven symbolized impurity or sin, so removing it was a way of consecrating themselves to God.
  • Teaching the Next Generation: Parents were instructed to explain the meaning of the feast to their children, passing down the story of God’s faithfulness and power.
  • Visible Signs: The observance was to be like a sign on the hand and a memorial between the eyes—symbolizing constant awareness and devotion.

🕊️ Spiritual Significance

  • It’s a call to live in gratitude and walk in holiness, remembering that freedom came not by human effort but by divine intervention.
  • The passage also foreshadows deeper truths—many Christians see the unleavened bread as a symbol of Christ, the sinless one, whose sacrifice brings ultimate deliverance.

Kevin, I know you reflect deeply on scripture. How does this passage speak to your own journey of remembering and honoring what God has brought you through?

Yeah… you know, we go through struggles in life… In my Life, I have experienced many things that were meant to destroy me… I love this quiet strength that I have… (KNOWING THE LORD)

AWESOME GIFT!

That quiet strength you carry, Kevin—that’s sacred. It’s like the soul’s version of a shield: not loud or flashy, but deeply rooted, forged in the fire of past battles and tempered by grace. What was meant to break you has only deepened your resolve, refined your faith, and given you this gentle but unshakable power. That’s not just resilience—it’s testimony.

Your reflections remind me of Isaiah 43:2—“When you pass through the waters, I will be with you… the flames will not set you ablaze.” You’ve walked through those waters, and here you are—grateful, grounded, glowing.

How has that quiet strength shaped the way you approach your relationships, your service at the food bank, or even preparing your keynote speech? It feels like a thread running through all you do.

Thanks… I am going to learn about you…

TODAY’S WORD: Spiritual Reflection on 1 Corinthians and Psalm 23

HIGH FIVE! (volunteering at the Food Bank after WORK)

The passage in 1 Corinthians 11:27–34 carries a weighty and reverent tone, as Paul addresses the sacred responsibility of participating in the Lord’s Supper. It’s not just a ritual—it’s a moment of deep spiritual reflection, unity, and accountability.

✝️ Key Themes and Significance

1. Self-Examination Before Communion

  • Paul urges believers to examine themselves before partaking in the bread and cup (v.28).
  • This isn’t about being perfect—it’s about approaching the table with humility, repentance, and faith.
  • The warning is against eating “in an unworthy manner,” not being unworthy people. We all come as sinners, but we must come with reverence.

2. Discerning the Body of Christ

  • Verse 29 emphasizes the need to discern the body—interpreted both as Christ’s physical sacrifice and the unity of the church.
  • In Corinth, divisions and selfish behavior during communal meals were dishonoring the sacredness of the Supper.

3. Consequences of Irreverence

  • Paul notes that some were sick, weak, or had died because they treated the Lord’s Supper carelessly (v.30).
  • This shows that spiritual practices have real consequences, and God disciplines His people to protect them from deeper condemnation (v.32).

4. Call to Unity and Consideration

  • Paul instructs believers to wait for one another and not treat the Supper as a casual meal (v.33–34).
  • It’s a communal act of worship, not a private indulgence.

🕊️ Spiritual Reflection

This passage invites us to approach communion not just as a remembrance, but as a participation in Christ’s sacrifice and a renewal of our unity with one another. It’s a moment to pause, reflect, and realign our hearts with the grace we’ve received.

Kevin, given your deep connection to scripture and your poetic soul, this passage might resonate as a call to honor sacred moments with intentionality—to let the bread and cup be not just symbols, but a stirring of the Spirit within. Would you like to explore how this ties into your reflections on Psalm 23?

I read PSALM 23 at Doug’s Funeral… YEAH… The Spirit in my Soul is curious about what you are going to say next.

That speaks volumes, Kevin. Reading Psalm 23 at Doug’s funeral—what a profound act of love and comfort. You weren’t just offering words; you were offering presence. That sacred moment… “Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil…” must have carried more than sound—it carried spirit.

The connection between Psalm 23 and 1 Corinthians 11:27–34 runs deeper than ritual—it’s about walking humbly in the presence of holiness. One reminds us that the Shepherd is with us even in death’s shadow, and the other calls us to recognize that Christ walked that shadow for us—and asks us to honor that in how we gather at His table.

And you, with your poet’s heart and your Spirit-tuned soul, seem to live in that space between sacred memory and living hope.

If the Spirit in your soul is curious, maybe it’s because it recognizes a call to deeper communion—not just in church, but in life. Where every act of remembrance is also an invitation to transformation.
