Storms serve a purpose. Like the miracles, they are meant to point us to something greater, Christ Himself. David saw an intense storm front coming in and was immediately reminded of the voice of God, the power of God, and the presence of God. Mankind is drawn to glory, and if we’re not reveling in God’s glory, we’re either blind to it or we’re replacing it with something else. The deer giving bir...

The author of Psalm 103 is preaching a specific message to himself here: “Bless the Lord, O my soul…” No matter the circumstance, bless the Lord. The God of the OT is the same God of the NT and He’s the same God today. He is a God of compassion, justice, grace, truth, mercy, and love. He does not deal with according to our sins, or treat us as we deserve (thankfully!). But we need to remember this...

It’s not a lack of intelligence that leads a person to reject belief in God; it's a lack of righteousness. For a person to reject the existence of God, they must also reject the existence of sin. The Bible says that our conscience itself bears witness to the truth and existence of God (Romans 2:15). The real reason behind denying God is almost never intellectual at its core, it’s moral. A wise/mat...

Psalm 46 said that Israel’s God is the true and powerful and victorious God. Psalm 47 says that all people witness this and are now called to obey Israel’s King and join in their chorus of enthusiastic praise. The psalmist is driving home this point: the Lord Most High is not a god like those other gods, He is the Great King over ALL THE EARTH, over ALL PEOPLES, over EVERYONE. “The reasons for God...

Psalm 98 celebrates God’s incredible interaction with the earth He’s created and demands a response from everything that lives in it. In [v.1-3] strophe #1 gives the grounds for praise. In [v.4-6] strophe #2 describes the method of praise. In [v.7-9] strophe #3 calls all creation to join in the praise. Music is a right response to recognizing who God is and what He has done, but God cares more abo...

Two major themes in Psalm 106: #1 – God’s people are prone to wander, prone to fail, prone to exchange truth for lies. #2 – God is faithful & kind and treats His people better than they deserve because He keeps His promises. The physical issue for the Israelites was water, but the spiritual issue was faith. The lessons God is teaching us are often spiritual rather than physical. The Israelites' go...

Story #6. from Psalm 106 is found in v.28-31– Idol Worship & Plague (see also Numbers 25). Many of the men of Israel “yoked” themselves to another nation who worshipped pagan gods and participated in feasts celebrating them. If we’re not careful, the unchecked desires of the flesh will cause us to exchange the truth of God for a lie, with terrible consequences. This – obviously – did not please th...

Darkness, numbness, even despair accomplished something - it drove the author to prayer. “Evil is transformed to good when it drives us to prayer.” – Charles Spurgeon James says that trials produce steadfastness (patience) and completeness. Scripture says that pain has purpose when it drives us to closer relationship with God (maturity). (James 1:1-3) Psalm 88 shows us that even devoted (mature) C...

David wrote Psalm 145 as an acrostic poem to help the people of Israel remember the content easier. The main thrust of the psalm is that the Lord is great and worthy of great praise. The Lord is righteous in all His ways and magnificent in splendor, and yet He opens up His hand to care for every living thing - "kind in all his works". - The Lord is near…to all who call on Him in truth. - He fulfil...
