this weekend: Psalms
#GenerousLifeinChrist
We hear bits and pieces of them during the year. We read
the 23rd when we are struggling and in need of comfort.
But what is the book of Psalms all about?
It is poetry– songs– that express the fullness of human emo-
tions. This week, the 100th Psalm is all about making a joy-
ful noise. Next week, we’ll hear a lament Psalm. They also
have some of the most quotable things in Scripture– The
Lord is My Shepherd, I shall not want. Thy word is a lamp
unto my feet and a light unto my path. Make a joyful noise
unto the Lord all the earth!
We will spend 5 weeks hearing from this special book– it’s
encouragement, it’s witness and it’s realness.
Mighty God, we give you thanks for the witness of the
Psalms which gives us words for our feelings. All of our ex-
periences belong to you. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
