Our Safe Haven (Psalm 84)

See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him.  Dear friends, now we are children of God, and what we will be has not yet been made known. But we know that when Christ appears, we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is.  All who have this hope in him purify themselves, just as…

Happy Are Those Who Take Refuge in Him (Psalm 1&2)

We do, however, speak a message of wisdom among the mature, but not the wisdom of this age or of the rulers of this age, who are coming to nothing.  No, we declare God’s wisdom, a mystery that has been hidden and that God destined for our glory before time began.  None of the rulers of this age understood it, for if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.  However, as it is written: “What no eye has seen,    what no ear has heard,and…

Resting in the Shadow of the Almighty (Psalm 91)

So do not fear, for I am with you;    do not be dismayed, for I am your God.I will strengthen you and help you;    I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. “All who rage against you    will surely be ashamed and disgraced;those who oppose you    will be as nothing and perish.Though you search for your enemies,    you will not find them.Those who wage war against you    will be as nothing at all.For I am the Lord your God    who takes hold of your right handand says to you, Do not fear;    I will help you.” Isaiah…

It is Good to be Near God (Psalm 73)

Yes, my soul, find rest in God;    my hope comes from him.Truly he is my rock and my salvation;    he is my fortress, I will not be shaken.My salvation and my honor depend on God;    he is my mighty rock, my refuge.Trust in him at all times, you people;    pour out your hearts to him,    for God is our refuge. Psalm 62:5-8

The Blessings of Forgiveness (Psalm 32)

Praise the Lord, my soul;    all my inmost being, praise his holy name.Praise the Lord, my soul,    and forget not all his benefits—who forgives all your sins    and heals all your diseases,who redeems your life from the pit    and crowns you with love and compassion,who satisfies your desires with good things    so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s. Psalm 103:1-5

Create in Me a Clean Heart (Psalm 51)

Above all else, guard your heart,    for everything you do flows from it.Keep your mouth free of perversity;    keep corrupt talk far from your lips.Let your eyes look straight ahead;    fix your gaze directly before you.Give careful thought to the paths for your feet    and be steadfast in all your ways.Do not turn to the right or the left;    keep your foot from evil. Proverbs 4:23-27

Taste and See that the Lord is Good (Psalm 34)

Trust in the Lord and do good;    dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture.Take delight in the Lord,    and he will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the Lord;    trust in him and he will do this:He will make your righteous reward shine like the dawn,    your vindication like the noonday sun. Psalm 37:3-6

Turning to God (Psalm 5)

Blessed is the one    who does not walk in step with the wickedor stand in the way that sinners take    or sit in the company of mockers,but whose delight is in the law of the Lord,    and who meditates on his law day and night.That person is like a tree planted by streams of water,    which yields its fruit in seasonand whose leaf does not wither—    whatever they do prospers. Not so the wicked!    They are like chaff    that the wind blows away.Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment,    nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous. For…
