  1. Too Great For Me To Understand

    Comments Off on Too Great For Me To Understand
    Too Great For Me To Understand — a word by Pastor Caleb Yetton from The Rock Church in Draper, UT. "Who are we that He would show us such great love and affection? Assuredly, it is too great for me to understand."

    “Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too great for me to understand!” — Psalm 139:6

    Psalm 139 is definitely one of my favorite chapters in the entire Bible. The picture that David paints of God’s goodness and closeness is so comforting. It is nearly impossible to read those words and not feel God’s love. Without a doubt, it truly is too great for me to understand!

    Do you feel like God is distant? Maybe you feel like He doesn’t understand you? Then, I would encourage you to read Psalm 139 and let His Truth change those thoughts.

    Grief is an Oversized T-Shirt – a word by Pastor Bryan D. Edwards from The Rock Church in Draper, UT. "Unfortunately,(and unlike) a t-shirt, grief is not something you can take off. It is not something you can simply change out of."

    Yesterday (October 23) marked three years since my father passed away. In previous posts, I have shared some of the things the Lord has guided me through so far on this path of grief. With that in mind, today will be the latest entry into that diary.

    But first, a story. As children, my brother and I would oftentimes get our dad a t-shirt for his birthday. We’d get ones with his favorite rock bands on them. I always wanted to wear them to school, but they were obviously too big for me. However, as I got older, I began to grow into the shirts that once drowned me as a child. Today, I still have most of my dad’s shirts. You’ve probably seen me wear many of them often. 

    These memories have me reflecting on this thought:
