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.

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 […]

Psalm 24 – The Honor Deserved the Lord of Glory
He that abides in Christ the Crucified One, learns to know what it is to be crucified with Him, and in Him to be indeed dead unto sin. He that abides in Christ the Risen and Glorified One, becomes in the same way partaker of His resurrection life, and of the glory with which He […]

Psalm 23 – God Is Our Gracious Provision, Strong Provider, and Eternally Present
The things you say about yourself, about God, and about life are very, very important because they are formative of the way you act and react to the things God places in your life.
