Every Blade of Grass

Lord God, I am deeply awed by Your wisdom and prowess and creativity; how You have been unfolding a plan for creation longer than I am aware of or could possibly comprehend. There are no words that could describe Your incredible skill when it comes to creating and unfolding plans. How can a human comprehend… Continue reading

Re-imagining Everyday Language in Light of God’s Sovereignty

Last year, I began a blog series called Praise and Prose in which my aim was to do exactly what the title of this blog post expresses. It was an interesting exercise, and definitely worthwhile.
