Psalms

Release more of your blessings on those who are loyal to you (Psalm 36:10). I have been asking God in 2022 to release an abundance of blessings on those following Jesus. I’m praying for financial prosperity, open doors to disciple, and prayers for healing answered. There is an ebb and flow to God’s blessings. Everything

Psalm 89 is one of the most difficult Psalms to interpret. But let’s start with a verse that’s easy. The heavens are Yours; the earth is also Yours. The world and all it contains, You have founded them (v. 11). All things were created by Jesus and for Him. Now let’s get complicated. You may

The shortest Psalm is Psalm 117. Just two verses. Memorize this Psalm, as it has an ability to heal that belies its length. It won’t take long and it is easy to remember.

Pursued by King Saul for unjust reasons, David prays: In my distress I called upon the Lord and cried to my God for help; He heard my voice out of His temple, and my cry for help before Him came into His ears. (Psalm 18:6 NASB95) Now before

I’ve always considered Psalm 1 to be a pre-eminent Psalm. It is the first Psalm, and the content is the Word of God. You can’t get a better Psalm. Psalm 2 has always been like a second child. Yes, in the same family but the second, not the first or the baby of the family.
