Read: Ps. 25, 29, 33, 36, 39
The Psalms are full of promises. God is the answer to everything: wisdom, council, healing, distress, rejection, help, deliverance. There is a verse for anything you face. Some of my favorites in chapter 25 are 25:14, “The secret of the Lord is with them that fear him, and he will show them his covenant.” 25:17, “ The troubles of my heart are enlarged: O bring me out of my distresses.”
Psalm 29 talks much about God’s voice. In the Hebrew the word “voice” means a bleating as in a sheep, crackling as in a fire, lightness as in lightning, lowing as in a cow, proclamation, singing, thunder, a yell. God speaks in so many different voices. His voice can be quiet or loud but one thing is sure - it will accomplish what it says.
Psalm 33 talks of the earth and all God made. It says that the earth is full of the goodness of the Lord! That is an encouragement when we think there is nothing good about what is going on in it. God’s creation is a reminder to us of how glorious God is; what man had done with the world is a reminder of how sinful man is and in need of a Savior. The end of that Psalm and 36 tells us that it is vain to rely on man’s strength to save us in time of war or famine. Our hope is in the Lord - he will deliver and save us.
Lord we join with David in praying: make us to know our end, and the measure of our days, that we may realize how frail we are and how big You are.
