If ever there is a greater need for God’s active intervention in our human lives, now is that time! For those who delight in seeking and then becoming a benefactor of our Heavenly Father’s promises, you will not have to look beyond the Books of Psalms. The Psalms have recorded some one hundred and twenty-seven mentions of the Most High coming down to help the helpless and those who are in covenant with Him.
Below are some of my personal Psalms collections that ministers to my soul-care needs of God’s mercy, lovingkindness, and His faithfulness to my life. Please consider joining me for the remainder of the month of March, to read, meditate and or pray one of these psalms, per day for the month of March. You will be with others and me, as we combine our souls in unity and strength, seeking the Face and Favor of God upon His People!
