Good Morning “Avoiders or Discipline”. Today we are in Psalm 74.  This Psalm appears to be talking about the destruction of the TempleIn Jerusalem by the Babylonians.  If this is the case then Asaph is either speaking prophetically or this is a different Asaph than David’s Asaph.  Both entirely possible, as the Levite singers became known as “sons of Asaph”, (Ezra 2:41, Nehemiah 11:22)If we are in...  Read More

Good Morning “Content.” Today we are in Psalm 73.  This Psalm marks the beginning of Book III.  What’s the significance of the 5 books of Psalms?  They do not seem to be in a particular order, chronologically anyway.  They clearly are not divided by author.  Psalms is broken into 5 Books, likely aligning with the 5 Books of The Torah, Genesis - Deuteronomy.  A Psalm of Asaph.  Reminder… Asaph was ...  Read More

Good Morning “Confessors”.  Today we are in Psalm 72“Of Solomon.”  It is debated as to whether this was written by Solomon as the heading states, or by David as may be interpreted by the closing verse.  How about yes?  It’s both.  The headings we see in Psalms appear in the original Hebrew so we must take them at face value.  Hence let the debaters be silent.  This is a Psalm written by Solomon - ...  Read More

Good Morning “Young Sponges, Gray Teachers.”  Today we are in Psalm 71.  We’re all deserving of wrath (Roman’s 6:23, Ephesians 2:3).  However; Jesus loves us, and gave Himself up for us (Ephesians 5:2).  We’ve done NOTHING to deserve Him, it’s all by His grace (Ephesians 2:8-9) What does The Lord ask in return?  ALL of us, “a living sacrifice, Holy and pleasing to God”.  That’s our proper response...  Read More

Good Morning “Reconciled Enemies.”  Today we are in Psalm 70.  The last few Psalms have reminded us that God willingly receives all who repent.  “The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.” 2 Peter 3:9We are all born sinful, “Surely I was sinful at birth, sinful from the...  Read More

Good Morning “Scorners, and Scorned”.  Today we are in Psalm 69.David laments as many have turned on him.  He is scorned because of his Zeal for The Lord.  “For I endure scorn for your sake, and shame covers my face.

Good Morning “Accepters, NOT Rejectors.”  Today we are in Psalm 68.God desires that the nations hear about Him, are shown example of lives changed by Him, and in turn choose to leave their Pagan ways and follow Him.  He made that clear through Psalm 66 and 67.  Jesus paid a price we never could!  We must choose to turn from our flesh and toward Him, receiving His free gift of grace.  Paul describe...  Read More

Good Morning “Glowing Faces”.  Today we are in Psalm 67.  Today’s Psalm carry’s the same theme as Psalm 66 yesterday.  God wants the nations, ALL the nations,  to know Him… and He wants His people to show them how they can.   It all began with Israel.  They were each to reflect The Love of God to those around them so that foreigners would see the difference and choose life with God rather than the...  Read More

God Morning “Observed”.  Today we are in Psalm 66.  “Praise to God For His Awesome Works.”  At first glance it appears this is a Psalm for the nation of Israel.  After all, the psalm praises the awesome works of the God of Israel.  Sure, Israel is the intended audience, but the psalm is also written to the nations, the “peoples” (Vs 8).  The intent of its message is for the nations to observe how ...  Read More

Good Morning “Inspired In Awe.”  Today we are in Psalm 65.Through David, God reminds us of His intimate care and Sovereignty.  Our world, at times seems to be spinning out of control.  Natural disasters appear to come out of nowhere.  The Truth, however; is just the opposite.  The God who created it all (Isaiah 40:12), holds it all in His hand (Psalm 95:4-5), and brings about each measure like a c...  Read More
