Access to information does not make us wiser. We need Godly wisdom to guide our lives. Written when he was older (v.25a), David shows us how that looks based on wisdom he gathered throughout his life.
Psalm 34
August 22, 2021
David had a remarkable calling to succeed Saul as king from a very humble beginning. (1 Samuel 16). Even early in life, through no consequence of sin, David was placed in situations that brought on extreme personal duress. Like him, we go to God asking for deliverance, depending, most of all, on His protection.
Psam 94
August 15, 2021
Impartiality under the law is a hallmark of the U.S. system. All are presumed innocent until proven guilty. Under God's law, however, we are already presumed guilty (Romans 3:23). Yet, God can mete out perfect justice while granting mercy. He does this without compromising His character.
Psalm 63
August 8, 2021
We turn to God even when our challenge are the self-inflicted consequences of our sinfulness. His desire is to forgive us.
Psalm 31
August 1, 2021
Everyone experiences anxiety, an ominous view of the future or FEAR (seeing Future Events As Real). We try to avoid it by minimizing it for substituting something to dull it. Neither works. David shows us that we should seek refuge in God.
Psalm 11
July 25, 2021
One response to life challenges is to listen to the counsel of fear, leading to emotional
and/or physical withdrawal. However, David shows us that we should listen to the counsel of faith,
seeking refuge in God by actively trusting Him.
Psalm 103
July 18, 2021 • Brian Storm
Blessing the Lord starts with eye-opening awareness that moves our souls into gratitude, thankfulness and worship, not just in words, but in the very obedience of our lives. We bless the Lord most significantly, as we walk in obedience driven by reverential awe, allowing Him to make us new...transforming us into His image.
Psalm 27
July 11, 2021 • Dave Edwards
Waiting on the Lord is an active process. We can have confidence in His leading by
recalling His past deliverances and mediating on His character.
Psalm 25
July 4, 2021 • Blane Leuschner
God is with us, even during difficult times. That is when He gives us opportunities for
growth, to His glory.
Psalm 80
June 27, 2021 • Jeff Collins
The psalmist, Asaph, proclaims that God, in His might, is working against Israel (v4-6). When we are unfaithful, there comes a time when He will work against us. However, we remain His people and He will save when we repent and abide in Christ.
Psalm 86
June 20, 2021 • Brian Storm
When we pray, we view needs from our perspective. We have two types of needs; those we believe we're able to handle on our own and those that are beyond the resources within our control. David shows us the right way to pray about our neediness.
Psalm 98
June 13, 2021 • Jay Owen
When God demonstrates His power, He shows His dominion over creation and faithfulness to His covenant people. Praising Him is all creation's response.
Psalm 150
June 6, 2021 • Jay Owen
Often called the "grand doxology for the book of Psalms", these verses show us the outcome of life lived in obedience to God's word.
