The word of God is living and active . . . (Hebrews 4:12)

Vindication and Sanctification
“Judge me, O Jehovah.” That’s how Young, in his literal translation, renders the opening lyrics of David’s twenty-sixth song. The idea is that of asking a judge or a governor to weigh the evidence of a matter and render a … Continue reading
A Shudder in Heaven
As I read it this morning, I imagined a shudder in heaven as the Father breathed it, the Holy Spirit moved David to write it, and the Son anticipated it. My God, my God, why have You forsaken Me? Why … Continue reading
My Right Hand . . . His Right Hand
We know the sixteenth psalm is a messianic psalm. Both Peter and Paul provide Spirit-led divine commentary on portions of the song indicating that, beyond whatever David had intended in writing it, God determined that it should speak of His … Continue reading
Who Gets Invited to Dinner?
The songwriter opens his lyric with a question. Actually, with two questions. I think I’ve said it here before, but it’s true that good questions can open the door to important insights. Good questions, pursued thoughtfully and truthfully, have a … Continue reading
From Sighing to Singing
Re-running some thoughts from 2012 . . . You don’t have to read very far into Psalm 13 before you not only sense the desperation, but also find some connection in which you relate to the despair. Anyone who’s ever … Continue reading
A Bit Standoffish
Perhaps part of the wide-felt connection to the Psalms is that sometimes the songwriter often says what we are afraid of saying. That his divinely inspired lyrics often put into words what we find ourselves thinking but not comfortable openly … Continue reading
Lifter of My Head
It’s a song written when he was in dire straights. A lament penned at the bottom of the cycle. Minor key chords composed from a valley experience. A Psalm of David, when he fled from Absalom his son. David is … Continue reading
An Either / Or Thing
I don’t recall hearing them as often. Those pithy sayings from the pulpit. Those succinct and powerful statements of divine truth that penetrate and literally stick with you throughout a lifetime. Perhaps it’s because I don’t get around as much … Continue reading
If Only On the Inside
This morning I’m re-working some thoughts from 2012 after reading Psalm 149 . . . I was saved into a pretty conservative, pretty low key, church system. While the praise was very heartfelt, it was also very bodily still. Voices were … Continue reading
Time Gods
It’s a pretty good word picture when you pause to reflect on it. Even more, it’s a pretty formative piece of information if it’s true. And, as I think about it, there seems to be a clear choice to make. … Continue reading
