100 Days of Psalms
Prayer, Praise, and Pain
Psalm 51
July 17, 2022 • Eric Laverentz • Psalm 51
We can only locate a handful of psalms to a specific time, place, and circumstance. Psalm 51 is one of those. We know that David was inspired to write this powerful psalm after he was caught sinning by taking Bathsheba as his wife, deceiving her husband and ultimately arranging his death. It is a powerful psalm that serves as a model for repentance.
Psalm 22
July 3, 2022 • Eric Laverentz • Psalm 22
Psalm 22 gives a brutal assessment of reality combined with an unwavering hope in God's power to restore, redeem, and renew. Jesus quotes this Psalm at the crucifixion and it is planted like a signpost in the middle of the Old Testament. It points to the One who was, who is, and is to come.
