Psalms 136, 146-150.  “For Who He Is”          This is a great collection of psalms to conclude this week’s theme of praise with. Recognizing God for who He is and what He has done and will do is cause for worshipping Him with an attitude of gratitude, humility, and awe.         Psalm 136 urges us to continually give thanks to God for who He is and what He has done.         Psalm 146 encourages us...  Read More

Psalms 128-130, 132, 134-135.  “Beyond Our Ability to Fully Understand”          Today’s psalms provide us yet more reasons to praise God for who He is and what He does for His people. Psalm 135:6 reminds us that His power is unlimited, and He can use it as He chooses according to His holy character.         But there may be seasons in our life when we read the first line of this verse, “The LORD ...  Read More

Psalms 120-121, 123, 125-126.  “Look Around You”          Today’s selection of psalms is one that I pray you can enjoy and find peace and encouragement in. They speak of why we can trust God, why we can praise Him, and why we can know He cares for us.         I have always loved the way Psalm 121 begins, that if anyone questions where our help comes from, we can respond with, “My help comes from t...  Read More

Psalm 119.  “Shaped by the Word of God”          Psalm 119 is the longest psalm, and an acrostic where every eight verses begin with each successive letter of the Hebrew alphabet. Out of nearly 200 verses, all but two do not directly or by inference refer to the word of God. Its emphasis is clearly on the value of the word of God in the life of believers, and it is this psalm that helped change th...  Read More

Psalm 115-118.  “The Center of Praise”          You have made it to the middle of the Bible, Psalm 118:8–9 (the 15,587th and 15,588th verses of the 31,174 verses in the Bible). The verses assure us that, “It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man. It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in princes” (NKJV). That is obvious cause for worship and praise, but the...  Read More

Psalm 107, 111-114. “Praise God”          How might God describe how you praise Him?  Maybe God says, “Well, she praises Me every Sunday morning, and not much beyond that.”  Or, “He praises Me in the songs he sings, and that’s about it.  Well, come to think of it, he really doesn’t even do that, because the words coming out of his mouth are not the words he really means or wants to say.  What he i...  Read More

         The theme for this week is worship and praise. This week will finish off our time in the Psalms (except for Psalm 137).  The focus of each psalm this week will be that of praising God for who He is and all He does.
