After that brief break to go through Philippians, we’re picking up where we left off in Psalms. Read Psalm chapter 90 VERSE: Psalm 90:12–Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom. TRUTH: What does it take to be wise? According to this verse, we gain a heart of wisdom as we learn from God. He teaches us to keep our lives in perspective. We will some day die in this life. We are to keep that in focus because only once we’ve learned this and start to prioritize our life based on this truth, will we truly have wisdom. RESPONSE: Father, keep me mindful…

Read Psalm chapter 89 VERSE: Psalm 89:2–I will declare that your love stands firm forever, that you have established your faithfulness in heaven itself. TRUTH: The psalmist shares two important truths. First, he indicates attributes of God. God is love and God is faithful. Second, the psalmist commits himself to sharing with the world about God’s attributes. Do we seek to know more about God every day? Are we committed to sharing what we have learned about od with everyone we can? Make this commitment today! RESPONSE: Father, You are amazing and holy, full of love and faithfulness. I will seek to know and understand more about You and share…

Read Psalm chapter 88 VERSE: Psalm 88:1–Lord, you are the God who saves; day and night I cry out to you. TRUTH: If we truly believe that God is the God who saves us, do we cry out to Him at all times we need saving? He is the only one who is focused on saving us and He is the only one who is capable of saving us. Do we continue to cry out to Him day and night or do we come to Him only as a last resort? He is the God who saves; trust Him like that. RESPONSE: Father, I come to You and I praise…

Read Psalm chapter 87 VERSE: Psalm 87:7–As they make music they will sing, “All my fountains are in you.” TRUTH: In this verse, we see that the people are praising God because He is the source of everything. He is refreshing. He is the On who fulfills and completes us. Do we praise God for the way He fills us up in everything? He is the source of all our refreshment. RESPONSE: Father, I will praise You and lift You up. You are the One who gives me all I need to get through the day. I will praise You and sing and rejoice.

Read Psalm chapter 86 VERSE: Psalm 86:11–Teach me your way Lord, that I may rely on your faithfulness; give me an undivided heart that I may fear your name. TRUTH: Two beautiful truths are here in this verse. First, we need God to teach us. He must help us to learn all about Him, for the more we know about Him, the more we will rely on Him. If we aren’t relying on God, it is because we don’t truly know who He is. Second, we need God to give us an undivided heart. Our hearts are easily swayed, but with God’s help we can keep focused solely on Him.…

Read Psalm chapter 85 VERSE: Psalm 85:8–I will listen to what God the Lord says; he promises peace to his people, his faithful servants–but let them not turn to folly. TRUTH: Will we listen to what God says to us? We really only have two options: we can listen to what God says to us or we can turn to folly and foolishness. God is the one who promises peace and blessing. Outside of Him, we are only going to experience folly. Which will we choose today? RESPONSE: Father, I will fix my eyes on You and seek You in every area of my life. I do not want folly…

Read Psalm chapter 84 VERSE: Psalm 84:2–My soul yearns, even faints, for the courts of the Lord; my heart and my flesh cry out for the living God. TRUTH: All that God is and all His glory, He desires to share with us. Do we desire Him as much as He desires us? Here the psalmist is talking about the desperate, total need for God in his life. When we look at our life, what do we see? Do we see the things that we have accumulated or do we see things that God has allowed us to have? We must have the correct perspective for all things that we…

Happy Resurrection Sunday!! Read Psalm chapter 83 VERSE: Psalm 83:16–Cover their faces with shame, Lord, so that they will seek your name. TRUTH: Why does God allow bad things to happen to people? In some cases, that’s so they will recognize their need for God and will turn to Him. As the psalmist mentions here, he is praying that the people will come to the place where they will recognize their need for God and will seek after Him. Are we praying that God will do whatever it takes to reach the people that we are around? RESPONSE: Father, I know so many people that need You and while I…

Read Psalm chapter 82 VERSE: Psalm 82:5–The ‘gods’ know nothing, they understand nothing. They walk about in darkness; all the foundations of the earth are shaken. TRUTH: Anything and everything that we think of and set up in our lives as ‘gods’ truly know and understand nothing. We can’t rely on them to save us in our troubles and we can’t trust them to hear our prayers or requests. Yet, so many people are will to believe in them and trust in them instead of the true God. Are we putting our trust in the one true God or are we trusting something that is walking about in darkness. RESPONSE:…
