GOD IS GOOD — ALL THE TIME

February 9, 2018 By Sarah Christmyer 3 Comments

God is good all the time!

Give thanks to the Lord, FOR he is good; FOR his steadfast love endures forever! That little word, “for,” is the reason I can have a thankful heart. I can be sick, or out of work, or lost, or without love. I can be in debt or up to my eyeballs in trouble. But always, […]

5 THANKSGIVING PSALMS TO PRAY THIS WEEK

November 20, 2017 By Sarah Christmyer 4 Comments

Strong is God's love for us! Let us give thanks and praise

If the stores in our area are anything to go by, Thanksgiving is going the way of the pilgrims. We’re too busy, it seems, to linger in gratitude when there’s so much out there to get. X-mas trees (I can’t call them “Christmas”) appeared the afternoon of Halloween, and Thanksgiving’s treated as a signpost for […]

PRAISE FROM “THE LAND OF ENCHANTMENT”

May 26, 2017 By Sarah Christmyer 6 Comments

At 6:29 am light breaks over the Sangre de Christo mountains, banishing shadows and flooding the valley before me with the deep greens and reds and ochres of the American southwest. Swallows come from nowhere and send their wheeling shadows across the adobe wall outside my window. New Mexico is fittingly called “the Land of […]

narcissus

Walk into my house this week and you will be overcome by the fragrance of flowers. It’s narcissus, mainly, “paperwhites” — masses of delicate white petals with tiny yellow centers, clustered at the top of graceful stems.  Tall straight leaves rise among the flowers and point upward as though directing their beauty to heaven. I […]

REJOICE WITH ME!

May 29, 2015 By Sarah Christmyer 4 Comments

“This is the day that the Lord has made; we will rejoice and be glad in it!” Reading that psalm starts the music going in my head.  I hear my mother singing it in the kitchen … my Dad starting up the chorus in the car … my brothers and I joining in.  It has […]

THE LORD IS GOOD – LET US EXALT HIS NAME TOGETHER!

May 31, 2014 By Sarah Christmyer 2 Comments

I had it engraved inside my husband’s ring:  “Psalm 34:3” — O magnify the Lord with me, and let us exalt his name together! Twenty-seven years ago last Friday I said “I do,” and that was my heart-cry to Mark Christmyer. Today, the fresh sparkling morning brings it to mind.  The Lord is good!  I […]

Sarah Christmyer writes and speaks about Scripture and the Catholic faith with the goal of helping people meet Jesus in his Word. “The Bible isn’t just a book about God or instructions for a good life; it’s a place to meet God and be changed by him,” she says. Her love of Scripture fuels her writing of Bible studies and related books; her teaching of Philadelphia seminarians; her speaking at conferences and retreats; and writing for blogs such as this one. “Come Into the Word” draws people into the Bible and encourages and equips them to explore it on their own.
