I 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 […]
Read More Psalm 127 – Who Is Building Your House?It’s quite something to read this Psalm. Remember when God restored us before? We need Him to restore again. And as we cry out for Him to restore, so we return with joy at the response He gives. When He restores. The restoration is the taste of the Eden lost. When He restores it is […]
Read More Psalm 126 – When He RestoresWhen you are surrounded by the Lord you get to truly see why it is so good to have Him as a fortress. Even as cities were protected by walls, there is something about being protected by the Lord. Protected from outside elements that seek to cause harm, but as well as that protected within […]
