“Praise the Lord O my soul” declares the psalmist in Psalm 104. He extolls God for the marvel of His creation. How God is clothed in light. How the the earth will never be destroyed by a flood again. Water was hard to come by at times in Israel so we see the prominent place […]

Today in Psalm 103 David begins with “Praise the Lord O my soul.” Later he points out how God is gracious even when He punishes us because “He does not treat us as our sins deserve.” God is aware of our weakness. Then in Ezekiel 22 God goes over the sins and crimes of Jerusalem’s […]

Good morning. We are just going to look at Matthew 24 today. It opens with the disciples admiring the beauty of the temple (considered one of the 7 wonders of the ancient world by some historians.) Jesus said a day would come where one stone would not be left on another. When will the end […]

Good morning dear people. In Psalm 102 an afflicted man asks the Lord to hear his cry. He speaks of the Lord rebuilding Zion. In verse 27 he observed that the earth wears out like a garment. “But You remain the same, and your years will never end.” In Ezekiel 21 God refers to the […]

In Psalm 99 it says; the Lord reigns, let the nations tremble. It speaks of Israel’s leaders of the past, and God’s relationship with them. In verse 8 it says “You were to Israel a forgiving God, though you punished their misdeeds.” The punishment is tempered by forgiveness. This theme is continued in Ezekiel 18, […]

Today we look at the 23rd Psalm. Out of my usual order but I felt the Lord wanted me to review it. The Lord is my shepherd. A personal relationship. God is my shepherd and yours. I shall not be in want. A shepherd cares for his sheep. He makes me go to green pastures […]

Good morning dear people. In Psalm 98 we are told to sing to the Lord a new song. In verses 4-6 he speaks of shouting and singing with specific instruments. At times our worship should be with great enthusiasm. In public and in private as well. In heaven we will have perfect voices and harmony. […]
