The Lord Is My Inheritance
Psalm 16 The Psalmist rejoices that God is his portion and inheritance. We understand that this is true of all believers and we see four points from this passage: * That we should love God * That we should regard Him as our greatest good and the focus of all our
Who May Dwell with the Lord?
Psalm 15 We study from this psalm the characteristics of those who may enter Heaven. We see that: * Only those who are holy may enter into God’s presence. The Psalmist gives us some examples of the behavior of truly holy people * We can only be holy in the Lord J
God Is With the Righteous Generation
Psalm 14 Psalm 14 reveals on the one hand the wickedness and the folly of the world in its unbelief, but on the other hand a comforting truth to the believer: no matter how bad things may seem to us, God is watching over all the righteous and will allow only what
I Trust in Your Loving-kindness
Psalm 13 We learn that we can trust God to fulfill his promises even when His providence seems to be going in the opposite direction. If we are His, then He loves us and we love Him because of this. Because God doesn’t change and His love for us never fails, we ca
More Desirable Than Gold
Psalm 19 The Word of God is a great treasure and it is an immense privilege that we have been granted it by Him. We consider this psalm and see that the believer should love this Word because of its intrinsic value – as God’s Word, it reflects His character and we

Our Gracious King
Psalm 10 The psalmist contemplates the wickedness of those who oppress the people of God and think in their hearts that He does not exist and does not see their wickedness. He calls upon God to remember their evil and to bring them into judgment for it. We consid
Those Who Know You Will Trust You
Psalm 9 In this Psalm, David shows His confidence that God will work in His own time to do what is just, judging some nations while raising others up, and increasing His own Glory. We can gain this same confidence by trusting God, Who has not changed, to work His
Desiring God’s Presence
Psalm 51:11 David fears to lose communion with the Holy Spirit as he laments his sin with Bathsheba. Through the words of some great saints of old, we consider whether we truly love God and desire His presence above everything. Then we see how it is that sin robs us
I Will Seek You Earnestly
Psalm 63 Psalm 63 is one of the more devotional of the Psalms and we consider David’s hunger and thirst for God as they are revealed in it. Driven away from the visible marks of God’s presence with His people, probably through the attempted coup by Absalom, David
How Majestic Is Your Name
Psalm 8 Psalm 8 reminds us of God’s glory and majesty which is shown forth in His creation and which we frequently take for granted. We see in all created things His infinite wisdom and glory and should never overlook the many blessings which we receive every day
