Psalm 24 is written like a procession of a King coming back from victory in battle, and about celebrating the presence of God entering His city and the possibility of the people of God entering His presence. On this procession we are given three distinct insights about God in relation to His people. These three insights can be described as: Announcing the King (v. 1-2), Approaching the King (v. 3-6), Acknowledging the King (v. 7-10).
Psalm 37 tells us not to fret, to have an eternal perspective, and to delight in the Lord. Dig into the context of Psalms 37 to have a better understanding of what this meant to first century people.
Psalm 106 shows us what praise is about, and what prayer is about. The psalmist looks back on different times of hardship throughout history, yet in his praise and his prayer he highlights the faithfulness of God during those seasons of drought, and that’s what gives him joy and excitement for what’s ahead.
What is the condition of your heart? Probably most or all of our hearts are not where God would want them to be. Let's discover what God has to say in Psalm 50.
If Jesus is your life, and Jesus is someone else's life, then you share the same life—and will be able to enjoy the unity that Psalm 133 describes.
What is prayer, why and how should we pray, and what does this have to do with the family trees of Cain and Seth?
The sin of Cain should not surprise us. The mercy of God should amaze us.
Because of their sin, Adam and Eve needed to be sent away from their home. The rest of the Bible tells us that none of us have truly been at home from that point on.
The point of this passage is that God is so great and so worthy of worship and trust and obedience that a single act of disobedience against him—a single bite of of a fruit—deserves to have the whole creation come crashing down in response.
When Satan slithers his way into your ear to feed you his lies and tempt you to fall into sin, counter him with the truth of God’s Word, like Adam and Eve failed to do, but just like Jesus did.
Eve was not exactly like Adam. God made a woman, not another man. But she was clearly the same kind of creation as he was. Someone with whom he could be fruitful and multiply; someone who was a suitable helper for him. And he rejoiced.
