Psalm 31 – True Refuge During The Distresses of Life
“Pull me out of the net that they have laid privily for me: for thou art my strength.” — Psalm 31:4 Our spiritual foes are of the serpent’s brood, and seek to ensnare us by subtlety. The prayer before us supposes the possibility of the believer being caught like a bird. So deftly does the […]

Psalm 30 – The God Who Turns Mourning Into Dancing
So, brethren! remember that the richest vintages are grown on the rough slopes of the volcano, and lovely flowers blow at the glacier’s edge; and all our troubles, big and little, may be converted into gladnesses if we accept them as God meant them.

Psalm 27 – Waiting Courageously on the Lord
One thing I know, one thing I seek, one thing I need, and at the very end of the book, it’s as though he says, “Oh yes, here’s one more thing—one thing I’m going to do. I’m going to be strong and wait on the Lord: I am still confident of this: I will see […]

Psalm 26 – What God Requires, He Provides
If you stand on the Rock of Ages, my dear brothers and sisters, you stand on a Rock which never can reel beneath you, and from which no power, either earthly or infernal, can ever tear you! If you are in the hands of Christ, you know what He says—“No one is able to pluck […]
