Psalm 74 (ESV) Edwin has hit a wall with Psalm 74. Andrew doesn't get his struggle. So, from both sides, this conversation helps us learn we have to accept the Bible as God gave it to us. Not try to turn it into what we expected or wanted. This will likely be the way to learn what God really wants us to find.

Psalm 73 (CSB) Asaph is tempted by idolatry, but the solution was worshiping in God's sanctuary. Andrew and Edwin discuss how we should picture that and how it applies to us under the New Covenant.

Psalm 73 (NKJV) Though we today tend to think Asaph is toying with atheism, that is not likely the temptation he faces. Andrew and Edwin consider his likely temptation is to turn to another "god."

Psalm 72 (JPS) At the end of each book of the Psalms (except Book V), the editors/redactors/compilers (whatever name you want to give the folks who put the distinct psalms together) included a doxology. Andrew and Edwin talk about those prayers of praise. Read the written devo that goes along with this episode by clicking here.     Let us know what you are learning or any questions you have.

Psalm 72 (NIV) One struggle with seeing this psalm as Messianic is the notion of praying for the king. How do we pray for Jesus? Andrew and Edwin take a look at what is often called "The Lord's Prayer," noticing that it really is a prayer for the kingdom of Jesus Christ. It is a prayer for our King and His kingdom. And our prayers need to prioritize that kind of praying. Read the wr...

Psalm 72 (CSB) Andrew and Edwin notice the ending of this psalm points not only to king David, but also to the patriarch Abraham. The Messiah is the fulfillment of God's promises to Abraham in Genesis 12 and elsewhere. He is a blessing and we are all blessed in Him.

Psalm 72 (NKJV) In yesterday's conversation, Andrew and Edwin considered applications for this psalm to the earthly king over Israel and to all earthly governing authorities. However, there is no way Solomon or any other of the earthly kings measured up to this picture. How else can we consider this psalm but as Messianic. Our hosts talk about that in today's conversation. Read the writt...

Psalm 71 (NIV) Andrew and Edwin take a look at another reason there is no retirement for Old Christians. The message needs to get passed along to another generation. They include a plea to all Christians no matter what age to step and develop family relationships with others in the church and pass that message along.

Psalm 71 (ALV) Andrew and Edwin dig into a central question in this psalm. Who is like God? More than just answering the question, they notice how this calls to mind one of God's greatest acts of deliverance in the history of Israel, perhaps the greatest.

Psalm 71 (NKJV) Andrew and Edwin recognize whoever wrote this psalm, he was an aged man. You'd think there would be a point at which this old saint could retire and relax. But the enemy keeps on attacking. Perhaps there is a good time for folks to retire from work, but never from faith.

Psalm 71 (ESV) Andrew and Edwin take a deep dive on the difference between we think of guilt and shame in our modern, western cultures versus what the psalmist meant in that ancient, eastern perspective.

Happy Birthday, Andrew! Psalm 70 (NLT) Andrew and Edwin spend Andrew's birthday finding Jesus in Psalm 70. How can David claim to be poor and needy? He's king! But our hosts see Jesus by seeing how David takes on the part of the poor and needy at least in some metaphorical sense. But Jesus became poor and needy quite literally. Praise the Lord!

Psalm 70 (JPS) Andrew and Edwin note the two kinds of people Psalm 70 presents. 1) Those who seek the Lord and 2) those who seek the life of those who seek the Lord. Then they recognize how we may find that same delineation today.

Psalm 70 (ESV) Building on Psalm 69's great contrast between vss. 13 and 17 in which David on the one hand says, "In Your good time, Lord" and also, "But make it quick," Psalm 70 can't even bring about the strength to ask God to wait. The crisis is high. The pressure is one. David begs for immediate answer. Have you been there? It's great to see a saint in Bible...

Psalm 70 (Alter) Andrew and Edwin take a look at Psalm 70 versus the psalm from which it is taken (Psalm 40: 13-17). It's almost like the psalmist wants to pray, but the crisis has reached such a tremendous level he is finding it hard to get through the whole thing. Have you ever felt like that? Sometimes about all we can get it out is "Help, Lord! Please!" Read the written devo tha...

Psalm 69 (NCV) It's Friday. That means Andrew and Edwin strive to find Jesus in Psalm 69 . But they admit we struggle with how much Jesus is found in this psalm because David's prayers of imprecations and curses seem so different from Jesus's prayer on the cross for His tormenters to be forgiven. Our hosts look to Paul's use of the psalm and the imprecations in  Romans to untan...

Psalm 69 (NIV) Andrew and Edwin notice a contrast within the psalm. In one verse, David asks God to answer the request in His own good time. In another verse, he begs, "Be quick about it!" And isn't that exactly how praying goes? We long to pray from the faith of trusting God to answer in the best way and at the best time, but we struggle in the moment of crisis. David did too.

Psalm 69 (ALV) Andrew and Edwin take a look at one of Paul's uses of  Psalm 69 . If Jesus allowed the reproaches of those who reproached God to fall on Him, we should too. But they especially note the one another nature of following Jesus in this and how it ties back to being zealous for God's house.

Psalm 69 (NKJV) Andrew and Edwin continue to find Messianic tie-ins to  Psalm 69 . David was consumed by zeal for God's house. So was Jesus. They also talk about what it means for us to be zealous for God's house.
