“Unless the Lord builds the house, they labor in vain who build it; unless the Lord guards the city, the watchman keeps awake in vain.” Psalm 127:1 This Song of Ascents was penned by Solomon. Consider the implications. If there was anyone who knew how to “build” it was Solomon. Many Chapters are devoted to […]

“I was glad when they said to me, “Let us go to the house of the Lord.”” Psalm 122:1 As I’ve mentioned in the past, the 15 Psalms after Psalm 119 are called the Songs of Ascent. Many regard these as songs sung by travelers to the Feasts in Jerusalem. This one, by King David,

“O how I love Your law! It is my meditation all the day.” Psalm 119:97 Psalm 119, besides being the longest Chapter in the Bible, is a Psalm dedicated to the Word of God. Almost every Verse in it has a word that describes the Law or an allusion to it. Today’s Verse helps us

“Your word I have treasured in my heart, that I may not sin against You.” Psalm 119:11 As I have mentioned in the past, Psalm 119 is one of my favorite Psalms. Today’s Verse is one that most of us are familiar with; one that many memorized as a child. Here are a couple of

“Who is like the Lord our God, who is enthroned on high?” Psalm 113:5 This is a Verse that we can read and not put much thought into. It’s just “rhetoric”! We answer “No one”, and then move on. But consider what else is said; “The Lord is high above all nations; His glory is

“Who is wise? Let him give heed to these things, and consider the lovingkindnesses of the Lord.” Psalm 107:43 Today’s Psalm opens with “Oh give thanks to the Lord, for He is good, for His lovingkindness is everlasting” and ends on a similar note. In between these 43 Verses, the writer recounts several instances where

“He has not dealt with us according to our sins, nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.” Psalm 103:10 As David opens this Psalm, he declares “Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget none of His benefits”. Today’s Verse is one of those benefits. When the Spirit of God began to open David’s heart,

“Sing to the Lord a new song” Psalm 96:1a; “The Lord reigns, let the earth rejoice” Psalm 97:1a; “O sing to the Lord a new song” Psalm 98:1a; “The Lord reigns, let the peoples tremble” Psalm 99:1a The Verses above are from 4 of the Psalms from my reading today. I was struck by the

“He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will abide in the shadow of the Almighty.” Psalm 91:1 I call this Psalm “The Antidote for Fear”. It is full of reasons to Trust God, and not be alarmed by any of your circumstances. He begins reciting a Fact, “He who dwells…will abide”, makes

“So teach us to number our days that we may present to You a heart of wisdom.” Psalm 90:12 This Psalm, “A Prayer of Moses, the man of God”, is another one of my favorites. There are so many verses to comment on, but this one has always stood out. Earlier, Moses makes the observation
