Psalms

There are two fascinating topics in Psalm 29 — the glory and the voice of God! Honor the Lord for His glory and strength (v. 1). The voice of the Lord is powerful (v. 4). Christians speak of God’s glory, and worshippers shout, “Glory!” We also listen to Bible teaching about hearing the voice of […]

Yes, you have been with me from birth; from my mother’s womb you have cared for me. No wonder I am always praising you! (Psalm 71:6, NLT) Psalm 71 is unique. Let me explain. Some of us who follow the Lord have a testimony, and some of us are a testimony. Let’s understand the difference.

How long, O Lord? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me? (v. 1, NASB1995) Have you ever felt forgotten by God? That’s He’s not listening to your prayers? That God is actually hiding from you. David felt the same, but he responds differently than most of us would . .

The Lord is king! Let the nations tremble! He sits on his throne between the cherubim. Let the whole earth quake! (v. 1, NLT) Psalm 99 is about the throne of God. We might think this Psalm is antiquated as thrones went out of style with the Magna Carta. But the throne in Psalm 99 represents rule

On the day I called, You answered me; You made me bold with strength in my soul (v. 3, NASB1995). Have you ever felt overwhelmed? Perhaps depressed and not motivated?
