Follow along as I read through the Bible in One Year and make a daily comment!
“Delight yourself in the Lord; and He will give you the desires of your heart.” Psalm 37:4 At first sight, this verse seems to be a blank check for self indulgence; that if I do such and such, then I will get whatever I ask for. But consider the 1st half and how it defines […]
“How blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered!” Psalm 32:1 What makes you Happy? What gives you Contentedness or Satisfaction? What is it that you see in others and inwardly Desire and want? That is how the word “blessed” is used above. David begins the Psalm with this statement, then goes
“One thing I have asked from the Lord, that I shall seek: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the Lord and to meditate in His temple.” Psalm 27:4 Just as each Psalm is Unique, sometimes each paragraph or “stanza” is
“My God, my God, why have You forsaken me?” Psalm 22:1 Each time I read through this Psalm, and other passages like it, I try to picture what the writer was going through. We’ve read earlier in the year where David suffered immense persecution by both King Saul and his son Absalom! Much of what

Psalm 1 By way of Introduction to the Book of Psalms, here are Spurgeon’s Comments at the beginning of his Treasury of David: “The delightful study of the Psalms has yielded me boundless profit and ever-growing pleasure; common gratitude constrains me to communicate to others a portion of the benefit, with the prayer that it
“Then the Lord answered Job out of the whirlwind and said, “Who is this that darkens counsel by words without knowledge?”” Job 38:1-2 As the Book of Job comes to a close and Job’s 4 friends rest their case, God Speaks! And for the next 4 Chapters, God takes Job to task for his limited
“Then Elihu continued and said,” Job 35:1 As I said yesterday, Elihu is quite the character; speaking at times wisely, then foolishly; humbly, then arrogantly. On your first time reading through Job, you really don’t know what to expect; he is Very Unpredictable! What little we do know about him is found at the beginning
