6“Be strong and courageous, because you will lead these people to inherit the land I swore to their forefathers to give them.

30Mar 2011 Psalm 70:5
5Yet I am poor and needy; come quickly to me, O God. You are my help and my deliverer; O LORD, do not delay. Humility is required if we are going to ask for help. If we think we can do it ourselves, why would we ask for someone’s help? We hate the words “poorContinue reading “30Mar 2011 Psalm 70:5”
29Mar 2011 Psalm 69:28
28May they be blotted out of the book of life and not be listed with the righteous. Sometimes anger is expressed in very powerful language in the Psalms. This anger is often toward other people.

1May God be gracious to us and bless us and make his face shine upon us, 2that your ways may be known on earth, your salvation among all nations. Notice the progression of thought here.

1Shout with joy to God, all the earth! 2Sing the glory of his name; make his praise glorious! Our times of worship and praise should be the most glorious events on earth!

25Mar 2011 Deuteronomy 34:7
7Moses was a hundred and twenty years old when he died, yet his eyes were not weak nor his strength gone. Moses already has something on me. I have to use glasses and I am half his age! This is the way we are supposed to die. There is no real reason for our bodiesContinue reading “25Mar 2011 Deuteronomy 34:7”
24Mar 2011 Deuteronomy 32:18
18You deserted the Rock, who fathered you; you forgot the God who gave you birth. There is something funny about the biology here. How can a rock give birth to anything? Of course you noticed the capital “R” when you read this verse, right? Rock represents stability, permanence, strength. The Lord is all those thingsContinue reading “24Mar 2011 Deuteronomy 32:18”
