Psalm 99: 6  Moses and Aaron were among His priests, And Samuel was among those who called upon His name; They called upon the Lord, and He answered them. You can be in the same company with three of God’s chosen priests; Moses, Aaron and Samuel. The qualification for joining that elite trio is recognizing and…

Psalm 98:1  Oh, sing to the Lord a new song! For He has done marvelous things; His right hand and His holy arm have gained Him the victory. With all the events that are precursors to impending judgement by the Lord, many wring their hands, or worse putting their hands over their mouths with self-inflicted silence. …

Psalm 97:11   Light is sown for the righteous, And gladness for the upright in heart. Light in this context could be a metaphor for revelation.  One of the blessings of having received the imputed righteousness of Christ is revelation. The metaphor is carried another step, suggesting it is a “seed”, something that is planted with…

Psalm 96: 7, 8  Give to the Lord, O families of the peoples, Give to the Lord glory and strength. Give to the Lord the glory due His name; Bring an offering, and come into His courts. How does one give “glory and strength” to the Lord; the Lord Who is all glorious and mighty in power?  Also, this…

Psalm 95: 1   Oh come, let us sing to the Lord! Let us shout joyfully to the Rock of our salvation. The beginning of this Psalm starts better than it ends.  The conclusion is a stark reminder of Israel’s hardened hearts that led to rebellion that cost a generation the Promised Land. In verses 3 –…

Psalm 94: 17   Unless the Lord had been my help, My soul would soon have settled in silence. One of the most subtle weapons in the arsenal the enemy of our soul has is the attempt for us to be “settled in silence”. Onslaughts of the enemy have goals in addition to death and destruction, especially for…

Psalm 93: 4   The Lord on high is mightier Than the noise of many waters, Than the mighty waves of the sea. When the Lord is dressed in strength (vs. 1), parameters that He has set cannot be moved.  Floods may challenge, crisis may loom, waves can be boisterous but He is greater still.  There may be…

Psalm 92: 13   Those who are planted in the house of the Lord Shall flourish in the courts of our God. Being transferred from the kingdom of darkness into the Kingdom of the Son of His love, Jesus, brings productivity.  The word “planted” literally means “transplanted”; we’ve been taken from death producing soil and rooted in…

Psalm 92:  1- 3  It is good to give thanks to the Lord, And to sing praises to Your name, O Most High; To declare Your lovingkindness in the morning, And Your faithfulness every night, On an instrument of ten strings, On the lute, And on the harp, With harmonious sound. The joyful sound described was…

Psalm 91: 9 Because you have made the Lord, who is my refuge, Even the Most High, your dwelling place, Vs. 14  Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore I will deliver him; I will set him on high, because he has known My name. Many of the blessings of God available to us are…
