Siyach

In Psalm 143:5, while trusting God for deliverance from current enemies, David remembers God's work in his life in the past. He meditates on God's doings and muses on the work of his hands. The Hebrew word which is translated "muse" in the New American Standard Bible is siyach (שָׂיחַ). In these articles, I share my thoughts on various topics in the hopes that we can muse together on the work of God's hands.

ABOUT ME

Frank JohnsonWelcome! I'm so happy you've chosen to visit my site! My name is Frank Johnson. I am a follower of Jesus.

My wife Bobbetta and I have been joyfully married for 26 years and have a 23-year-old daughter Emily. We live in a beautiful area bordered on one side by a gorgeous mountain range and on the other side by the Pacific Ocean.

Before I was born, my grandmother (who I never met) prayed for years that her sons would be missionaries and would take the news of Jesus' love to far off lands. While none of her sons became the answer to her prayers in this regard, in biblical terms, I was in the loins of my father* when she prayed, and I believe that through the mercies of Christ and at least partially through this website, I have the opportunity to be the fulfillment of that God-given desire in her heart.
