Valleys
Psalm 116:1-2 “I love the Lord, because he has heard my voice and my pleas for mercy. Because he inclined his ear to me, therefore I will call on him as long as I live.” Have you ever been at the end of yourself? Have you ever been in a situation in which you had no answers, you didn’t…

Marvelous condescension
Psalm 115:12-13 “The Lord has remembered us; he will bless us; he will bless the house of Israel; he will bless the house of Aaron; he will bless those who fear the Lord, both the small and the great.” In the vastness of the universe, have you ever thought about how small we are? I’ve had the thought, from time to…

Satisfied
Psalm 107:9 “For he satisfies the longing soul, and the hungry soul he fills with good things.” Are you satisfied? Do you have a full life? A satisfied and full life is not the same thing as a busy life. Most of us are busy with work, family and friends, and various responsibilities. And when we…

When trials come
Psalm 105:16-22 “When He (i.e. God) summoned a famine on the land and broke all supply of bread, He had sent a man ahead of them, Joseph, who was sold as a slave. His feet were hurt with fetters; his neck was put in a collar of iron; until what he had said came to pass, the Word of the Lord tested him. The…

He cares for you
Psalm 104:16-18 “The trees of the Lord are watered abundantly, the cedars of Lebanon that he planted. In them the birds build their nests; the stork has her home in the fir trees.

How Great Thou Art!
Psalm 104:1 “Bless the Lord, O my soul! O Lord my God, you are very great! You are clothed in splendor and majesty.” How GREAT is our God! Any words we use, no matter how many we use, can only understate his majesty. He is a being that never had a beginning and never will…

Why upset the status quo?
Psalm 103:1-5 “Praise the Lord, my soul; all my inmost being, praise his holy name. Praise the Lord, my soul, and forget not all his benefits . . . who satisfies your desires with good things so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.” Job 33:25 “let their flesh be renewed like a child’s; let them be restored as in the…

What does it all mean?
Psalm 91:3 “for he will deliver you from the snare of the fowler and from the deadly pestilence.” I don’t know about you, but the verse above, and in fact the entire 91st Psalm, is one that I’ve heard repeatedly since Covid-19 has struck. I’ve heard so many Christians turn to this Psalm as the…

When darkness seems to hide His face
Psalm 91:1 “He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will abide in the shadow of the Almighty.” One of the ways our invisible God works to teach us about Himself is by the use of metaphors. There are thousands of them in scripture, and they are all meant to help us grow in our…

Spiritual songs
Psalm 89:1 “I will sing of the steadfast love of the Lord, forever; with my mouth I will make known Your faithfulness to all generations.” One of the things I remember as I was growing up was how my mother would always be singing as she went about her work around the house. It wasn’t loud, but it…
