Psalm 38 – The Discipline of God for Our Good

ONE OF THE MOST ATTRACTIVE FEATURES of David is his candor. At his best he is transparently honest. That means, among other things, that when there is an array of things going wrong in his life he does not collapse them into a single problem.   Nothing could be clearer from Psalm 38. Commentators sometimes […]

You will see somebody that has something that you wish you had, and you’ll see that this desire is missing in this life. So the best way to fight […]

Worship Through Prayer – July 8, 2018

Daniel 9:18-19 says, 18 O my God, incline Your ear and hear! Open Your eyes and see our desolations and the city which is called by Your name; for we are not presenting our supplications before You on account of any merits of our own, but on account of Your great compassion. 19 O Lord, […]

Psalm 36 – The Preciousness of God’s Steadfast Love

Though we be poor and weak creatures, we want much to make us restful. We want no less than that every appetite, desire, need, inclination shall be filled to the full; that all shall be filled to the full at once, and that by one thing; that all shall be filled to the full at […]

Psalm 35 – God our Great Deliverer

Take the shield. These words certainly cannot be applied, in the strict and proper sense, to God, who has no need of the spear or buckler: for by the breath of his mouth alone, or merely with his nod, he is able to overthrow all his enemies. But although such figures at first sight appear rude, […]

Psalm 34 – The Lord, our Provider and Deliverer

Why is God so ready to hear the prayers of men? Because He is a God of infinite grace and mercy. It is indeed a very wonderful thing that so great a God should be so ready to hear our prayers, though we are so despicable and unworthy; that He should give free access at […]

Psalm 33 – The Steadfast Love of the Lord

Friends fail us. Stocks plummet. Health is unreliable. A promise is broken. Need I say more? The fact is, there is nothing, no one, anywhere in which/whom we can place our unqualified trust and be assured it/they will not let us down.   So what’s a person to do? If no one is infallibly worthy […]
