Notice on a slight format change:

Except for July 2012, these are mostly a collection of current devotional notes.

July 2012 is a re-write of old quiet times. My second child was born Nov 11, 1987 with multiple birth defects. I've been re-reading my QT notes from that time in my life, and have included them here. They cover the time before the birth and the few years immediately after the birth. They are tagged "historical." I added new insights and labeled them: ((TODAY, dd mmm yy)).

QT 25 Jul 17, Ps 146:3-4, The God of the universe cares for me

Psalm 146:3–4 (ESV) —
3 Put not your trust in princes,
in a son of man, in whom there is no salvation.
4 When his breath departs, he returns to the earth;
on that very day his plans perish.

NOTE: There are a lot of things we trust in rather than in God. Sometimes it is people, either because of their high position (they can make things happen) or because of their world-renowned skill (the surgeon can make the person whole) or because of the charisma of their character (surely people will listen to him and things will be different). Ultimately, God is in charge of the universe, our galaxy, our small solar system, our planet, our nation, our family, and us. It seems so impossible for the God of the universe to take our interests to heart, but he does. In an unbelievable way, God is not only the God of the universe, but he is my God too. He is personally involved in my life for his good will and glory. That is hard to understand at times. A famous person might barely remember me, but God knows me fully and always remembers me.
