Worship is expressed in different ways. One of the things I am growing to appreciate about worship is how it should help us be a lot more reflective. This kind of Psalm helps with that process. It’s good to get a perspective on life from an eternal standpoint. Here the life of a human is […]
Read More Psalm 90 – One Way to Get The HelpThis Psalm was going really well. For the first two thirds if not three quarters here was another great anthem of praise to the greatness of God. Then seemingly out of nowhere it goes switching into wondering why God has not followed up His greatness in the life of the Psalmist. By the end of […]
Read More Psalm 89 – Light and ShadeIt is one thing to come across a lament, but this Psalm in particular is relentless in its commitment to being morose. Sometimes the Psalm is read with an eye looking for the hit where the Psalmist looks up in hope to God, where remembering the goodness of God bursts through the darkness. None of […]
Read More Psalm 88 – When Darkness Is All There IsIt’s interesting how many people invest a lot in a piece of land. Holding such national pride over a piece of land that was not even called that nation generations before. So many lives dedicated to a concept of a nation as if the nation was always in existence and will remain in existence forever. […]
Read More Psalm 87 – City of GodHumbling yourself before God is a great position for progress. In this position, your accolades, accomplishments and achievements mean nothing. What really matters is the One you approach. What matters is to make much of the One you call. As you make much of Him, so your position is ready to receive even as you […]
Read More Psalm 86 – Position for ProgressAsking God to do something that has never happened before is audacious. Asking God to do something He has done before should be rather more straightforward. This Psalm, however, still goes to show that approaching God to do something that He has done before is not something to take lightly. Here is a pleasant for […]
Read More Psalm 85 – You Did It Before…This Psalm hails the benefits of the house of the Lord. It’s a big deal. The Psalmist loves it. This is where the focus is for the life of those who love their God. Making the pilgrimage there to enjoy of the benefits there. It’s brilliant. It’s a pity though that people have made something […]
Read More Psalm 84 – Be Where You AreWhat’s at stake is the glory of God. When we get to grips with that, it makes things both easier for us and incredibly more passionate and hung about it. The Psalmist in this outburst does not share lyrics that would be considered appropriate for lovey-dovey types who are suggesting all they are saying is […]
Read More Psalm 83 – Let Them KnowIt is very important to respect the Word of God. Respect it for what it says and what it means. The meaning of the Word does to some degree depend on the time it was written and the meaning behind some terms and references. There conflicting accounts on who the ‘gods’ are mentioned in this […]
Read More Psalm 82 – Deal With the InjusticeTwo ears and one mouth, so an adage suggests, means we should be doing twice as much listening as speaking. Just being able to listen at all is the sad lament of the Lord in this tragic Psalm. What is particularly challenging in this Psalm is what is implied as the meaning of listening. This […]
