Good Morning “Groaners”.  Today we are in Psalm 93.  “…Who is this? Even the wind and the waves obey him!””‭‭Mark‬ ‭4‬:‭41‬ ‭NIV‬‬As the Psalmist struggles through a difficult time, He marvels at Gods Power and Glory.The older I get the more I realize things we put confidence in are not as trustworthy as we like to think.  I still remember our own kids coming home deflated, after being taught the ...  Read More

Happy Resurrection Sunday!   He is Risen!!! Good Morning “Choosing to Remember and Rest in Him.”  Today we are in Psalm 92.Life is crazy.  It gets busy, and it gets tough.  It’s easy to get caught up in responsibilities, struggles, work, play - you name it.  It really isn’t any one thing.  The truth is we can become fixated and overly focused, get our priorities out of place - with just about anyt...  Read More

Good Morning “Lie Detectors.”  Today we are in Psalm 91.  It’s fitting that we “coincidently” find ourselves in this passage on the Saturday before Resurrection Sunday.  Jesus was in the tomb, but not for long.  Maybe the language in this Psalm sounds familiar?  There’s a good reason for that.  We’ve studied parts of it when we were in the New Testament.  Check it out… Jesus refers back to the mos...  Read More

Good Morning “Day Number-ers”.  Today we are in Psalm 90.  A Prayer of Moses the man of God.  How cool would it be for The God of all creation to call you a Man or Woman of God?  What does such a man include in his prayer?Acknowledgement that God is:- Creator of it all.- Eternal.  He existed apart from it all, before it ALL.- He holds all life in His hands and determines the second it ceases.- We ...  Read More

Good Morning “Contemplators.”  Today we are in Psalm 89.Today’s Psalm is a maskil of Ethan the Ezrahite.  On the surface it may appear that Ethan is praising God.  Look deeper.  Remember a maskil is a contemplation… he is considering.  Ethan is conflicted.  He seems to be weighing Gods promise to make David “King of Kings”, against what appears to be Israel’s destruction.  How can David’s throne l...  Read More

Good Morning “Hanging Tough.”  Today we are in Psalm 88.  “Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.” Psalms‬ ‭23‬:‭4‬ ‭NIV‬‬Scripture never promises God will snatch us out of those desperate “valley” times… He will however; be with us (Hebrews 13:5).  Today’s psalm was written by Heman the Ezrahite, one of th...  Read More

Good Morning “Firmly Founded.”  Today we are in Psalm 87.  Psalm 87 is a celebration of the city of Jerusalem. Jerusalem was God’s favored city among all those in the Promised Land. He exalted the city by His power, she is special for that reason alone!  Jerusalem was built on a firm foundation indeed, but even the best foundation will not hold if placed on bad soil or volatile ground.  Notice whe...  Read More

Good Morning “Pray-ers Without Ceasing.”  Today we are in Psalm 86.  Here is another one of more than two dozen of David’s Psalms, in which he is pleading for relief from his enemies.   Some things to note from this Psalm:- God never tires of hearing our prayers… even the same ones.  Think about it… would He have included more than 2 dozen similar pleas from David in Psalms if He did?  Perhaps eve...  Read More

Good Morning “On Fire For Him”.Today we are in Psalm 85.The exiles have returned from Babylon, during Nehemiah and Ezra’s time.  God has forgiven His people and brought them back to their land.  The Psalmist asks  for Gods restoration,  but not just restoration to their land, restoration to right relationship with God.  The people have repented but there seems to be some doubt in the Psalmists ple...  Read More

Good Morning “Worshippers in His Courts and House.”  Today we are in Psalm 84.“Better is one day in your courts.  Better is one day in your house… Better is one day in your courts than thousands elsewhere”… come on sing it with me!  Many many years before Matt Redmond penned those words they were found here!The sons of Korah saw many come and go from The Temple Courts.  Many traveled long distance...  Read More

Good Morning “Comforted With The End of The Story.”  Today we are in Psalm 83.Asaph mentions 10 different nations of people set on destroying Israel.  Nowhere in Scripture do we see these 10 all attacking Israel at one time, so we take this as a summary of Israel’s oppressed history.  Gods people have always been under attack.  Millions upon millions of Jews have been killed throughout history sim...  Read More

Good Morning “Rescuers of The Weak…” Today we are in Psalm 82.Asaph acknowledges God presides over the gods.  What are we talking about here?  The term gods when seen with a small “g” is referring either to pagan gods (demons), and/or earthy leaders.  Reviewing the Hebrew, and considering the complete text points to the later.   It appears Asaph is speaking regarding evil governors.  “I said, ‘You...  Read More
