psalm – Living Life with Jesus

Psalm 77

We can all relate to this Psalm. Asaph (the author) is in anguish, he is suffering and wondering, “where is God?” I know I have cried out to the Lord, troubled, asking, “where are you?!?” Some people choose these moments to walk away from God, claiming that He was absent during their time of need.Continue reading “Psalm 77”

Psalm 71

We have so much to praise God for. We could praise Him for eternity and never run out. Here, the author is praising God for being, “upheld from birth. You are He who took me out of my mother’s womb.” (verse 6). Amen to that! We can praise God for letting us be born andContinue reading “Psalm 71”

Psalm 69

A couple of things stuck out to me from this Psalm. First, have you ever asked, “If I’m saved no matter what, why does my behavior matter?” I know I have asked that question, especially during my younger days when I wanted to behave in ways that did not align with Christ. Verses 6 andContinue reading “Psalm 69”

Psalm 46:10

“Be still and know that I am God” God’s been teaching me a lesson about slowing down and this fits right in. I don’t have to be go-go-go all the time. When we are too busy, we can’t be still- and it’s in the stillness that our hearts and souls come to know God. Also,Continue reading “Psalm 46:10”

Psalm 42

Psalm 42: 1-2, “As the deer pants for the water brooks, so pants my soul for You, O God. My soul thirsts for God, for the living God.” Our SOULS thirst for God. I know how thirsty I get if I have to go even an hour without water and that’s how our souls areContinue reading “Psalm 42”

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 24

ALL who dwell in the Earth belong to the Lord. That’s all living things! To me, that is just extraordinary to consider. Psalm 24:3-4, “Who…may stand in His holy place? He who has clean hands and a pure heart.” The bible often references, “clean hands” and we sing about it in worship music. Today IContinue reading “Psalm 24”

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”
