When I was thrust into loss, I found myself at times simply saying the names of God.

Fools say that there is no God. What may seem as simple ignorance is much worse. Fools are corrupted and engage in horrendous evil.

Trust in his steadfast love. Forever and ever. Doeg boasted of evil; we trust in God's love.

God’s steadfast love and abundant mercy are aimed at our inward, secret heart. He purges, cleans, and washes us pure as driven snow.

We hear the summons to face trouble and turn it into an opportunity to allow our Mighty God to shine forth. His perfect beauty will be seen.

The psalmist is alerting all peoples. Hear! Give ear! Listen to me! Notice this is not a message for some people. ...It’s a message heralded to all people...

This city, while breathtaking in its beauty, is not only beautiful. There’s more than meets the eye. Look further, and you’ll see beyond the beauty is a fortress for protection from long term brokenness.

Heritage or inheritance is a powerful concept. We are clapping and shouting because we entrust fully our future, our legacy. We clap and shout because he is the one who fights for us.

Sight tells you your pain is overwhelming. Look to the truth. The nations rage and kingdoms totter. Sight tells you as much.

No wonder the psalmist’s tongue is like the pen of a ready scribe. His heart overflows as the marriage to the Messiah is revealed. He witnesses a pleasing theme.
