There is a song called, Love Lift Us Up Where We Belong. The sentiments of the song may appear rather cheesy to some, but amongst those lyrics is a sense of love that has enduring power. That theme of enduring power in love dominates this Psalm. The love of God described here takes on epic […]
Read More Psalm 136 – Enduring LoveThere is a chant that is sometimes used in football games that suggests that a striker of a greater quality ‘scores when he wants’. That degree of acknowledging brilliance in doing whatever he wants can also be attributed to the Creator of the Universe. God, though, does not need to give you His CV to earn […]
Read More Psalm 135 – Great God, Great Track RecordI appreciate scripture for what it says and what it means from the writer at the time. This Psalm is written at a time when there was a temple and there would be priests who would serve in the temple in the night. It’s great that the Psalmist wants these servants to be encouraged in their […]
Read More Psalm 134 – The Night WatchIt is a beautiful thing to see. Brothers together in harmony. I love it when I see it. Brothers in a band making beautiful music that blesses others because they compliment each other so well. Brothers in a football team playing for each other as much without possession as with it, spurring each other onto […]

Read More Psalm 132 – Where He Chooses To DwellThe picture the Psalmist evokes in verse two of this Psalm is powerful. It’s the response and a great contrast to a first verse that’s hung up with the hype of getting wrapped up with things truly beyond our comprehension. How is it done? How can it be done? Why was it done? When will […]
Read More Psalm 131 – Calm DownThis is a wonderful Psalm. From the crying out from the depths to the cry to Israel to put their hope in the Lord, it’s sweet and concise. One of the things I love about the Psalms is the primacy of a right relationship with God and how He initiates that in His character. I […]
Read More Psalm 130 – Access to Redemption: Wait For It …Patient, kind, tender, compassionate, forgiving and merciful. Reassuring and beautiful qualities of our glorious Lord. He is not a soft touch, though. Neither are His people. They likewise can express those godly values and yet be aware of the pressing force of opposition that has blighted them over time. That enemy, for the Psalmist, was […]
Read More Psalm 129 – When Dealing with Great OppositionIt sells really well. How to get rich quick. How do find Mr/Miss Right and enjoy true love forever. How to be a great parent. How to live without sickness. Those kinds of promises have people rushing to get the latest books, watch the latest videos, attend the latest conferences, buy into the latest craze […]
Read More Psalm 128 – Basis of Being BlessedInteresting Psalm this. House, city, anxiety, sleep and the benefit of children. Not on the surface the most connected of issues, until you look at that first word: house. I don’t read the house mentioned here as only a physical construction. It’s not just the bricks and mortar. It is all about the habitat. Whether […]
