Psalm 8 and Space Exploration
8:1: “O Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! You have set your glory above the heavens.”
The psalmist identifies himself and his people with the God whom he is about to praise by calling God our God–an acknowledgement similar to one voiced centuries later by the apostle Paul:
Psalm 7: A Call for Personal and Worldwide Justice
This psalm reveals a deep truth about how God dispenses his justice–and it is a truth that the world does not understand. Three passages from Scripture are listed below to illustrate this failure of the world to understand how God metes out judgment and justice:
“Evil men do not understand justice, but those who seek the Lord understand it completely” (Prov. 28:5 RSV).
“A man’s own folly ruins his life, yet his heart rages against the Lord” (Prov. 19:3 NIV).
Psalm 6
A psalm of someone in deep trouble. This much is clear.
6:1: “O Lord, do not rebuke me in your anger or discipline me in your wrath.”
Psalm 5
5:1: “Give ear to my words, O Lord, consider my sighing.”
Another psalm in which the psalmist bares his soul to the Lord. And once again his lament and pain of heart is that so many reject God and do not honor him with the praise and glory he deserves.
This is the fourth in the series of what the Holy Spirit shared with me concerning the Psalms.
Psalm 4< 4:1:“Answer me when I call to you, O my righteous God. Give me relief from my distress; be merciful to me and hear my prayer.”
At first, this might seem to be another plea for help from God to deliver the psalmist from his troubling plight. There are, after all, many such psalms and God himself invites us to do this very thing, to turn to him in our troubles and seek his help: He wants to be our God, who helps us in our time of need:
This is the third in the series of what the Holy Spirit shared with me concerning the Psalms.
Psalm 3
We may tend to forget how dire were the circumstances faced by the real people of the Bible. Here in Psalm three, David is in fear for his life, as even his own son Absalom has risen up against him. And Absalom had many with him, those he had craftily stolen away from his father, king David. David shows his real fear and concern for the situation in his cry to God:
3:1“O Lord, how many are my foes! How many rise up against me!”
This is the second in the series of what the Holy Spirit shared with me concerning the Psalms.
Psalm 2
The psalm begins with an incredulous question posed by the godly writer, who sees with the eyes of God beyond time and the limited vision of the world:
2:1: “Why do the nations conspire and the peoples plot in vain?”
When I read the Bible, God’s Word, I hear the Holy Spirit speak to me and show me things of the Lord, just as Jesus promised: “The Spirit will take from what is mine and make it known to you” (Jn. 16:15 NIV).
Psalm 1
Being the first psalm imposes the responsibility of giving the first impression for all the psalms. Therefore, we can get a strong indication from God, who inspired the psalmists to write what they did, as to what he considers to be of importance. So what do we see here in this first psalm about that?
"My flesh and my heart fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever."
(Psalm 73:26)
The Psalmist mentions the fact that sometime he can't handle all the stress of life. In his own strength, he cannot make it. He says, "My flesh and my heart fail". He is talking about the natural endurance of man, which although considerable at times, CANNOT make unaided it through every kind of crisis the world dishes up.
There is a very interesting passage in Luke 12:42-48 concerning servants of God and what Jesus will do to them when He returns.
