Psalm 34 and 35

Psalm 34:8, “Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good; Blessed is the man who trusts in Him! Oh, fear the Lord, you His saints! There is no want to those who fear Him. The lions lack and suffer hunger; But those who seek the Lord shall not lack any good thing.” This isContinue reading “Psalm 34 and 35”

Psalm 23

There are some super famous verses in this Psalm. Psalm 23: 1-2, “The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me to lie down in green pastures.” Our culture is so out of touch with shepherding that I must pause and really think about what David is saying and the impact itContinue reading “Psalm 23”

Psalm 19-20

Psalm 19:9-10, “…The judgements of the Lord are true and righteous altogether. More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold…” David repeats the idea that God’s judgements are much more desired than gold. It’s so important that he repeated it. We should desire the Lord’s judgements more than we desireContinue reading “Psalm 19-20”

Psalm 18

David attributes everything to God in verses 1-2: strength, fortress, deliverer, trust, shield, salvation, and stronghold. Then, in verses 31-34 David describes that God, “makes my way perfect, He makes my feet like the feet of deer, and sets me on my high places. He teaches my hands to make war so that my armsContinue reading “Psalm 18”

Psalm 4

Before reading Psalms, I didn’t really think I was able to relate to King David. I’ve never been a king, I’ve never had to hide from my enemies in the desert before, and I don’t really write poetry. But, to my surprise, I’m relating to him so much. All those years that I had troubleContinue reading “Psalm 4”

Psalm 2

Here’s the drawing I created for Psalm 2. If there’s one verse that stood out to me it’s this, “Serve the Lord with fear and rejoice in trembling” (verse 11). Even though the Lord loves us soooo incredibly much, we must never forget WHO He is and His status over all. I pray that IContinue reading “Psalm 2”

Psalm 1

I was feeling a little unenthused about starting the book of Psalms. I’m not a fan of poetry and Job was a poetic book as well so I was feeling “over it.” However, I prayed that the Lord restore in me a joy for reading His word every morning and spending time with Him. WhileContinue reading “Psalm 1”
