Today’s Scattered Seeds
Reading Psalm 63, we see find the words of David. Scholars say that this was likely at the time that he went to the forest of Hereth in Judah (1 Samuel 22:5). He was in hiding, as King Saul was determined to kill him.
We all have a King Saul in our life. The Bible tells us that our “adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour.” – 1 Peter 5:8.
We feel that presence in our life when we’re tempted and tried. We feel the stress when we’re pressed on every side. And we know that Satan wants to destroy us.
Reading his words from Psalm 63, we can learn from David’s example. He teaches us how a servant of God should respond during dark and trying times. He teaches us how to find peace when we’re troubled:
- He seeks God out. v. 1
- He sees things from a different perspective: God’s loving kindness is greater than life itself. v. 3
- He doesn’t just praise God, he praises Him with joy. v. 5
- When he can’t sleep, he meditates on the Lord. v. 6
- He acknowledges the faithfulness of God. v. 7
- He fervently pursues the Lord. v. 8

Darlene Schacht and her husband Michael live in Manitoba Canada where the summers are beautiful and the winters are cold. Together they’ve come to learn that relationships aren’t always easy, but that marriage, the way God intended it to be, is a treasure worth fighting for.
She began her publishing journey about twelve years ago when she pioneered one of the first online magazines for Christian women, known at the time as “Christian Women Online Magazine.” After three years, Darlene left CWO to blog as a solo author at Time-Warp Wife Ministries.
It was also during this transition that she worked alongside actress Candace Cameron Bure to write the NYT Best-Selling book, Reshaping it All: Motivation for Spiritual and Physical Fitness. Reshaping it All was the winner of both the 2011 USA Best Book Awards and the 2012 Christian Reading Retailers Choice Awards.
Author of more than 15 books, Darlene continues to write and to minister to her readers through her blog at TimeWarpWife.com.
