In Psalm 101 we are called to live in the light of Christ’s victory — not just on Easter, but in the quiet, ordinary days that follow. David sets a high bar for personal integrity, showing us the heart of one who longs to walk blamelessly before God, even in weakness.    And we’re reminded that the pursuit of holiness begins in the secret place.

In Psalm 100, we’re called to joyful praise, humble submission, and grateful living. Joy is a choice, not a feeling. Submission isn’t defeat — it’s where peace begins. Gratitude flows from knowing God keeps every promise. Choose joy, surrender fully, and give thanks this week!

In Psalm 99, we’re ushered into the thundering presence of a holy God—enthroned between the cherubim, reigning in righteousness, justice, and mercy. This episode invites us to walk through the layers of the Tabernacle, to tremble at His holiness, and to marvel at the veil that once separated us from His presence. But we don’t stop there—we rejoice in the veil that was torn. Will you step into that...

In Psalm 96 through 98, we’re called to sing, praise, and rejoice because the Lord reigns. These psalms celebrate His greatness, His salvation, and His coming judgment in righteousness. We explore their historical context and how they still call us to declare His glory among unbelievers today. Can we live and worship like our King truly reigns?

In Psalm 95, we’re called to worship—and warned not to harden our hearts. Even when God provides, will we recognize it? The Rock still pours water. The Light still shines. The challenge: Hear His voice—today.

In Psalm 94, the psalmist cries out to God, longing for justice against the wicked who oppress the innocent and mock the Lord’s authority. He reminds us that though evil may seem unchecked, God sees all, hears all, and will bring perfect judgment in His time. While the wicked will ultimately face His wrath, those who trust in Him find refuge, strength, and peace even in the midst of turmoil. As yo...

In Psalm 93, we’re reminded that no matter how loud the storm gets, our God reigns. His throne is unshaken, His Word is sure, and His power is greater than any wave that rises against us. Whether we’re stepping out like Peter on the water or walking through on dry land like Israel at the Red Sea, it all comes down to trusting the One who holds back the waves. This week, let’s challenge ourselves t...

In Psalm 92, we find a song for the Sabbath—God’s reminder to pause, reflect, and praise. It teaches us that gratitude isn’t just an obligation but a lifeline, anchoring us in His faithfulness. Praise shifts our focus from life’s chaos to God’s constancy, guarding our hearts with peace. What would change if you began and ended each day showing forth His lovingkindness and faithfulness?

In Psalm 91, we're gonna have a little "Praise Break". This is where the psalmist just praises God for all he does for us when we live according to his commandments, when we are obedient to him. God is GOOD! There's just no way around it. And the way he rewards us for simply responding to his love for us with obedience, well, that is the definition of unmerited favor. We should want to share it wi...

In Psalm 90, we'll explore the trials of our fleeting days, the hope of eternal rewards, and the call to live boldly for His glory. Find encouragement to trust God through every moment and season. Life is brief, but God’s purpose is eternal. 

In Psalm 89, we explore the psalmist’s celebration of God’s faithfulness, covenant promises, and sovereign power, drawing parallels to the Lord’s Prayer in Matthew 6.  It always amazes me how the Bible is so interlinked and woven together in such a way that can only be described as divine. 

In Psalm 88, Heman the Ezrahite pours out his despair to Jehovah, clinging to God’s covenant faithfulness even in darkness. This episode explores the hope found in bringing our deepest sorrows to the Lord, trusting His unchanging presence even when resolution doesn’t come.

In Psalm 87, we see Zion celebrated as the city of God, a symbol of His presence, promises, and eternal purpose. The psalm points to the joy and life found in God alone and reveals His heart for all nations to be counted as His own. Let's explore how this psalm calls us to fix our eyes on eternity, share the hope of the Gospel, and draw deeply from the living water only He can provide.

In Psalm 86 we uncover David’s bold yet humble prayer, reflecting a deep trust in God’s promises. Discover the beauty of God’s mercy, His readiness to forgive, and His desire for an intimate relationship with His children. Together, we'll reflect on the transformative power of lifting our souls to Him in worship and surrender. Whether we’re facing uncertainty, trials, or a fresh new year, this epi...

This Christmas episode reflects on the fulfilled prophecy of Christ’s birth, highlighting the miracle of Emmanuel—God with us. From the promise in Isaiah to the manger in Bethlehem, we celebrate the greatest gift of the season: Jesus, the Savior who came to redeem and reconcile us to God. As we exchange gifts and gather with loved ones, we are reminded that the true glory of Christmas lies in the...

In Psalm 85, we see prophetic connections to Christ as the fulfillment of God’s mercy, truth, righteousness, and peace. The psalm reflects Israel’s gratitude for deliverance from captivity and points forward to the ultimate redemption found in Jesus, who bore God’s wrath and secured salvation through His death and resurrection. Through New Testament parallels, the psalmist’s prayer for revival and...

In Psalm 84, we see the psalmist’s deep yearning for the house of the Lord and the companionship of his fellow believers. Even though he is separated from the tabernacle, his desire to be in God’s presence and among God’s people is strong, illustrating a longing that goes beyond physical attendance. This passion reflects the importance of church community as a place of spiritual refreshment and st...

In Psalms 81-83, we hear God’s call to obedience, a reminder of our responsibilities, and His promise of protection, which stirs us to look deeply at our own lives. This episode explores how these psalms mirror our personal battles with faithfulness and trust, much like Israel’s ongoing struggle with dependence on God. Through this conversation, we dive into the simplicity of trusting and obeying,...

Psalm 80 is a psalm that speaks to our hearts like a gentle but direct guide, calling us to let God lead, to heed His instruction, to remember His blessings, and to see our weakness—all so that we might be brought closer to Him. As we move through, it is a poignant reminder that we rarely choose to turn to God on our own when we need him most, so we are instructed to ask to be turned to Him so tha...

In Psalm 78, later Asaph rehearses (recounts) for Israel everything that God has done for them. He highlights all the blessings God had brought them through, even when they didn't deserve it. This may be something we need to practice more in our own lives, I know I surely need it in mine. Do we recount enough and keep record of all God has done for us? Do we read and reread the gospel account, ack...

In Psalm 77 we join Asaph (of the Assyrian attacks) as he struggles again how God is working. God had multiple promises for Israel, some conditional , some unconditional. In the Christian life, he has the same types of promises. It can be hard to see one when the reality of another type of promise draws the imminent focus of our lives. The bottom line is, when we don't understand how God is workin...

Psalm 78 takes us back to the Assyrian siege of Jerusalem and another psalm of Asaph the Recorder. God gives victory in our lives, yet all too often we say things like "God has given me victory over...". Let's be clear, these are not our victories.  They are his. Just like he delivered Israel in this psalm for his name's sake, he delivers us through his grace and mercy from our sin - for his name'...

IN Psalm 75, the psalmist brings us face to face with a harsh reality: the wicked ARE wicked - and so were we once. We are only made righteous by the saving knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ. When we look at the culture around use the governments, the politics, it is easy to see wickedness. So what do we do? Pass condemnation without attempting to share the gospel?  We're are not righteous in and...

In Psalm 74 and 79, Asaph (not the same Asaph from 73) struggles with how God is working.  As Christians, we often do the same. In the tragedies, in devastating moments, we cannot see how God could possibly be working. Loss, health issues, marital meltdowns, is God punishing us? Why would he allow this to happen? Doesn't he love us?  The psalmist reminds himself as he reminds us, that God is alway...

Psalm 73 is hands down my favorite Psalm. Write by Asaph, it captures well the struggles we get when we look around at non-believers who seem to have more and are able to do more with their lives than us.  We look around in our culture today and may ask, why do they seem so happy and I feel so miserable?  The answer can be found here. If we could take Asaph's struggle and apply his solution - the...
