David chooses to find refuge in God and seek His preservation (Ps 16:1-2). The statement in Psalm 16:2 reveals his understanding of who God is and his relationship to Him, the LORD, who makes and keeps covenant. He declares that God is his āLordā, recognizing his authority and rule. David also recognizes that he has no good apart from God.
What do I think of God? Do I think that good exists apart from Him? Recognizing his sovereignty and goodness will allow me to turn to Him in times of need.
Psalm 16:3 is interesting, because Davidās joy also spills over to the people of God. He loves and delights in Godās people. Once again, this challenges me to think about how I think about the church. Can I say that they are my delight? What does it look like?
In contrast, those that run after other gods seem to have a multiplying amount of sorrow (Ps 16:4). David does not desire to be with them.
David is resolute. The LORD is his chosen portion and cup (Ps 16:5). The lines have fallen in pleasant places and he has a beautiful inheritance (Ps 16:6). He resolves to trust God in the present and by faith, trusts that God will provide for him in future. He blesses God who counsels, and sets God before him (Ps 16:7-8). He will be unshaken and knows that God will deliver! God will not let him down in the ultimate thing ā the salvation of his soul (Ps 16:10). This is our greatest problem, and we already have the solution in Christ.
It is not wonder then, that it translates into inner joy (Ps 16:9). This is both a present hope and also a future one (Ps 16:11). It is not always easy to believe these things

Godās holiness means that all who worship Him need to be holy (Ps 15:1). This is the God who tells His people, ābe holy for I am holyā. The psalm gives us a portrait of this holy person.
His outward actions match his inner dialogue (Ps 15:2). His speech is honest and He does no evil to friend or neighbours (Ps 15:3). He stands on Godās side, hating what God hates and loving what God loves (Ps 15:4). He deals justly (Ps 15:5a).
This is a picture of Christian character. We know that we are not able to live up to everything all the time. Our actions when no one is watching may not be blameless. Our hearts are deceitful, and our tongues are so easily wicked. We often seek to preserve our own good instead of seeking the welfare of others.
But this causes us to turn to God in repentance and faith! We see in Christ the perfection of fulfillment of these verses. And we trust that faith in Him means we are forgiven when we confess and turn to God the Father, for Christ had paid it all. We also have the Spirit at work within us to make us more like Christ. One day we will be presented holy and blameless, and our faith will be sight. Then we can dwell in the presence of God.
In the meantime, faith and trust in this holy God allows us to have the confident that we will not be moved as we are secure in Him!
What we think about God affects how we act. Or, our theology affects our behavior. Psalm 14:1,3 shows us how a belief that there is no God translates into a corrupt nature, and abominable deeds. The Bible calls this person a fool. This might not be what the world thinks. Itās is often tempting to believe that there is no God because this means we donāt have to follow any rules and no one can tell us what to do. But is it really comforting to live in a godless world?
But God does see and Heās looking to see if any understand and seek after God (Ps 14:2). He also promises to judge the evildoers (Ps 14:4). It will be evident that God will be with His people and this will strike great terror in them (Ps 14:5).
The comfort that Godās people have is not that their plans go well. Perhaps their plans will be shamed (Ps 14:6a) and their fortunes may be lost (Ps 14:7). These things may happen. But their comfort is knowing that God is their refuge. If they have God, what else do they need? He will restore them (Ps 14:7).
Whose world am I living in today? How am I living according to what I believe?
So many psalms contain the phrase āhow longā. This is a real human struggle, as we wrestle with waiting for God to act in His time. He is in control, and we are not. This is not an easy truth to live by, and it is an encouragement for us that this is often articulated in the psalms. Then, and now, Godās people struggle with this.
David seeks to be struggling with an extended period of darkness and fighting his enemies here. Like clouds hiding the sun, Godās face ā His favour ā seems to be hidden from David (Ps 13:1). There seems to be an internal struggle ā his heart is sorrowful and he lacks counsel ā and an external one ā with his enemy exalting over him (Ps 13:2). Indeed in life, we may struggle with Godās absence experienced as troubling external circumstances and an equally difficult internal turmoil. This psalm shows that in these circumstances, we can honestly and humbly turn to God.
Once again, David pleads and asks God to answer him and deliver him (Ps 13:3-4). In our desperation, we can turn to God in prayer, by faith! We may not feel like He is around, but David models what turning to God by faith looks like.
He also resolves to trust in Godās steadfast love (past) and to rejoice in His salvation (future) (Ps 13:5). He hasnāt experience this salvation but he trusts that God will save him! He will also sing to the LORD, this promise-making and keeping God because He has lavished grace and ādealt bountifully with (him)ā (Ps 13:6).
The Christian today can say with David that the LORD has indeed dealt bountifully with us by providing Jesus as our Saviour. Because Jesus took our place and bore the wrath and judgment we deserved, our greatest enemy ā sin ā no longer has a hold and prevails over us. We no longer need to be shaken by sin and death and judgment is not our end.
Because Jesus experienced the Fatherās hidden face on the cross, we know that in Christ, we have all spiritual blessings and the Fatherās favour. When we struggle with God being distant and far, it is not an eternal separation nor is it judgment. He will not forget nor abandon us. He has given us His Spirit, and He will hold us fast.
Psalm 12 speaks to the feeling that there is no one else trying to be faithful but me (Ps 12:1). It reminds us that obeying God and following Him can be lonely in this sinful and broken world. Yet in such a situation, we can still turn to God and cry out āsaveā (Ps 12:1).
The psalmist speaks against lying, flattering lips that come from a double heart (Ps 12:2). This is a picture of hypocrisy, where one says one thing but means another, and probably for their own benefit. What are my words like? Do they sound āniceā on the surface, but the goal is for my benefit? What are the ways that I am lying or flattering others?
Psalm 12:4 also shows us how their words are proud ones. They are secure in their ways and think that no one can shake them or be their master. How have I articulated control over my daily life? When have I sought to use my reason to save myself, or thought that it is a good fallback option?
But God sees and knows, and will not be idle. He knows that the poor are plundered and the needy groan (Ps 12:5). *God* will place them in the security and safety they desire (Ps 12:5). And unlike the lies of man, Godās words are true (Ps 12:6).
It ends with a promise of Godās protection. Though wickedness may seem to prosper, those who place their faith and trust in Him will not find it to be misplaced (Ps 12:7-8).

āWhy, O LORD, do you stand far away? Why do you hide yourself in times of trouble? (Ps 10:1)ā
We donāt know who wrote this, but the circumstance seems to be clear. The psalmist seems to be facing troubles and God doesnāt seem to be near or acting. Again, he approaches God with honesty but thereās something about a quiet confidence that God is still who He is. The God of the good times ā holy and just ā is the God of the bad times and as he prays, heās wrestling with this revealed nature of God.
Psalm 10:2-11 detail for us the troubles. The wicked, in their arrogance, have acted injustly and against the LORD. They have also outrightly rejected God (Ps 10:4). They appear to prosper and this fuels their pride (Ps 10:5). They also seem to be confident about and in their actions, thinking that this will continue forever (Ps 10:6). This is also pride.
Psalm 10:7-10 gives us more details about their wickedness. It plays out in their speech (Ps 10:7) and actions. They seem to be intentional about it and even looks out for opportunities to do such evil (Ps 10:8-9). It can seem impossible for someone to be so intentional about wickedness but this also cause us to examine our own hearts. Have we been proud at work and in life, seeking to cut corners and thinking that nothing will happen to us? Do we think no one sees our secret thoughts when we play out our vengeful actions against that irritating colleague or utter cursing against our boss? Perhaps we are not outrightly evil, but these words also cause us to pause and reflect, and repent of our sins. We may not be that far off.
The psalmist articulates his prayer for God to act in Psalm 10:12-15. In the face of real wickedness and injustice, we cannot help but pray these things, for we cannot allow for injustice to prevail. God may not act now in the way that we want, but He will judge rightly ultimately. And as we have been reading in Isaiah, we see that judgment is a scary thing. No one can stand before a God who judges and escape unscathed.
The LORD is king forever and ever (Ps 10:16). He hears the afflicted (Ps 10:17) and He promises to do justice (Ps 10:18). How do we know God will do all that He says? The cross is the proof. Jesus shows us that sin has a cost and He bore the wrath and judgment of God for all our sins. He is the truly innocent one, and yet, has borne all of our sins. Jesus has experienced the worst injustice for the sake of sinners. As Christians, we come before a God who knows about injustice and suffering, and did not stand idly by. May this encourage us.
This is a song of thanksgiving. How does he give thanks? With his whole heart (Ps 9:1). How about me? Am I half-hearted in my praise, saying āthank you God butā¦ā? Do I secretly still grumble against God? Do I approach God in praise with a divided heart that still believes that i did something to help myself?
God is praiseworthy because of all that He has done for David (Ps 9:3-6). God acted against Davidās enemies in righteous judgment (Ps 9:4). We get a glimpse of Godās judgment in action in Psalm 9:5-6. His judgment is complete. In Psalm 9:15-16, we see how the nations suffer the just results of their actions.
As a result, we see how the LORD rules forever and rules justly and with righteousness (Ps 7:7-8). He is a stronghold for the oppressed in times of trouble (Ps 9:9). All who put their trust in Him will not be forsaken too (Ps 9:10). Once again, Godās judgment means 2 things to 2 groups of people. Those who oppose Him will be destroyed (c.f Ps 9:17) and those who find refuge in Him will find deliverance (c.f Ps 9:18).
David is not able to be silent and sings praises of this God (Ps 9:11-12). At the same time, he doesnāt presume that God has to save him, and appeals to Godās gracious nature (Ps 9:13). He also desires that Godās name is not tarnished and He is known for who He truly is among the nations (Ps 9:19-20). He also sees his life to be one that is spent recounting all of Godās praises (Ps 9:14). This really makes me think of the reasons why I praise God. There are more reasons than I usually think of, and indeed, we have 10000 reasons to sing Godās praises. It doesnāt always come naturally, and this is why we have such psalms to teach us more ways to praise God.
Why or what do I praise God for? Psalm 8:1 shows us how God so to be praised because of who He just is. He is LORD ā a promise making, and promise keeping God. He is Lord ā one who rules and has authority. His name is known over all the earth and it is majestic, whether we recognize it or not. This reminds me to pause to consider Godās inherent nature and to behold Him. It is far easier to think of how He acts for me but thatās also making God in my image. He is the Creator, and I am the created.
Thus, praise flows as we consider His acts on behalf of His people (Ps 8:2). Even infants and babies praise Him! Do I praise Him or do I tend to grumble against Him?
Seeing God also helps me to see myself rightly. David realizes how small man is, when he sees the grandeur of nature and the God who is behind all of that (Ps 8:3-4). He also does not presume that God has to act for him. Such a great God is perfectly justified to do as He pleases!
Thus, David praises God for His good gifts ā to be crowned with glory and honor, and in doing so, to be able to image God by exercising dominion over nature (Ps 8:5-8). It is a good reminder of Godās design for us in this world. Itās easy to be caught up in our world and forget these truths. Nothing we have is earned nor are we entitled to it. We have been graciously given our intellect, strength etc in order to exercise our dominion over Godās creation. But this authority ultimately comes from God. We too, have ro be accountable to Him for how we use it.
This psalm reminds me that I am living in Godās world. He created and upholds all things, and will make all things new again. Creation worships Him, and though itās groaning, it also eagerly await final redemption. What about me? Do I praise the Creator, or have I rebelled and tried to take His place?
David writes this to express a personal problem, and it reminds us that we can turn to God for our problems. At the same time, it shows us how we ought to process our struggles and even injustice against us.
David expresses his trust in God in a desperate situation (Ps 7:1-2). In difficult situations, it may be tempting to try to resolve it first. But when we come to the end of ourselves, we can turn to God!
Interestingly, David admits that if he has done wrong, let him suffer his just deserts (Ps 7:3-5). Itās humbling to be able to say that and also important for us to be able to admit our mistakes. In some cases in life, we really are the victim of injustice. But in many other cases, we could suffer as a result of many reasons, including our own. In those times, may we be able to admit as honestly as David here. What enables us to be able to admit our own wrongs? Only the gospel.
David prays that God judges rightly. He doesnāt think of himself as better, for he also prays that God judges him according to his righteousness (Ps 7:8). Of course, we know that if God were to judge us according to our righteousness, we are deserving of death. Certainly David is not praying in a self-righteous way. But as we saw earlier, heās not saying heās perfect, but in a case where heās innocent, Heās calling on God to act on His behalf.
David knows that God sees and also gets involved. He doesnāt stand by to watch. Thus, he knows that he prays to a God who test minds and hearts and also saves the upright in heart (Ps 7:9-10).
David acknowledges in Psalm 7:11 that God is a righteous judge who feels indignation every day. As we go about life and wrestle with our own indignation against injustice and sin, let us remember that we have a God who feels it perfectly and He knows. It is also a warning for us if we are the ones that are acting unjustly, for God knows that too.
Psalm 7:12-16 details the judgment against an unrepentant man. It is a warning for us and a call to examine our hearts and lives. Psalm 7:14 uses words associated with birth ā āconceiveā, āpregnantā and āgives birthā. It is a picture of one who instead of bearing good fruit, brings about evil. Before we readily deny doing so, it is worth thinking about the outcome of our actions. What do we think about? Are they aligned with what Godās word says or are they self-serving? Do we think of ways to benefit ourselves and in doing so, speak untruthfully? Repent, for there is nothing good that comes out of it. Psalm 7:15 goes on to show us how it leads to his own downfall.
Once again, there are two ways to live. One way leads to death and the other to life. Choose life by repenting and trusting in the God who is righteous and worthy of all our praise (c.f Ps 7:17).
David pleads with the Lord for mercy (Ps 6:1). He feels the weight of his sins, as he says he is languishing and his bones and soul are troubled (Ps 6:2-3). He also speaks of persistent grief, and weeping (Ps 6:6-7). In such soul-crushing pain, he directs his thoughts to God.
What do I do in my pain? And do I experience such pain or am I preoccupied with lesser worldly problems? Davidās prayer also reminds me that thereās the reality of Godās wrath and judgment. In Christ, His people experience His discipline, as a son receives from his father.
Why should God deliver David? Not because he is deserving, but because God is one who shows steadfast love (Ps 6:4). David appeals to Godās character and nature. He also argues that he is more useful alive because he can praise God (Ps 6;5). A dead David is unable to remember Him!
Apart from this inner turmoil, there also seems to be those that are taking advantage of his situation (Ps 6:8). He also prays confidently, trusting that God hears his prayer and will deliver and vindicate him (Ps 6:9-10). Both can be true ā David could be suffering the consequences of his sin and God can deliver a repentant David. We are extra confident this side of the cross, and reminded this Good Friday and Easter, that in Christ our sins have been paid in full. The resurrected Christ is proof. Thus, what we experience now is His discipline, and one day, we will see the fullness of His deliverance from sin.

David turns to God and asks that He hear his cries (Ps 5:1-2). David also seems to turn to God first thing in the morning (Ps 5:3).
He is also confident about Godās character and nature. He knows that God does not delight in wickedness and does not tolerate evil (Ps 5:4). There is no place for the proud and evildoers in HIs presence, and He destroys those who speak lies (Ps 5:5). God hates those who are bloodthirsty and deceitful (Ps 5:6).
In what ways are we like these people? How do we stand with those who do evil? Are we proud? Do we speak honestly all the time or do we deceive others with our words and deed?
David expresses his confidence at being about to enter Godās house through the abundance of His steadfast love (Ps 5:7a). He knows that nothing in him merits this, but itās all of Godās grace and mercy! When he enters Godās house, he will worship Him in the fear of God (Ps 5:7b). How do I approach God in worship on Sunday? What kind of a heart attitude do I have? How does that translate into the way I prepare to God to church on Saturday night?
Davidās presents his request ā that God will lead him in His righteousness and make straight his path, which seems to have been hindered by his enemies (Ps 5:8). Again, we see that his enemies speak lies and we are given a detailed description of what it looks like in Psalm 5:9. Again, how do I use my words? When do I utter lies instead of speaking the truth? It is a call to confess and repent!
David prays that God will allow them to bear their guilt and judge them for their rebellion (Ps 5:10). It might seem strange at first, but he is taking things to their natural conclusion. For those that stand against God, this is their outcome. God cannot tolerate sin and even allow for it, because His name and holiness is at stake. Sobering words.
The nations and great kings of the earth pale in comparison to the Anointed. It is with futility that they rage, plot and set themselves against the LORD and his Anointed (Ps 2:1-2).
We see how God laughs at their foolishness (Ps 2:4) and sets out to judge and unleash His wrath against them (Ps 2:4-5). True power is terrifying.
It would be worthwhile to pause and consider how the nations behave in our day and age, and frankly, whether we think about Godās sovereignty over all the earth. When we read the news, so we remember that God is also at work in our world, and sees all our human affairs? Do we place our hopes in the political structure, international organizations like the UN, or economic structures? Are we just as blind and proud as the nations here?
The God who is sovereign and powerful has Godās anointed His Son, one begotten of Him (Ps 2:7-8). He is the one who rules in Godās holy hill, Zion (Ps 2:6). He will also execute judgment and His power will be evident (Ps 2:7).
Yet the psalm closes with a final word of warning to the kings and rulers of the earth. They are also called to hear and be wise, to make the right decision (Ps 2:10). Judgment is real, but there is also a way out. There is a call to turn and serve the LORD with fear and rejoice with trembling (Ps 2:11). Kissing the Son is described as the way to not incur the anger and wrath of this God, and all who take refuge in Him are blessed (Ps 2:12). This is a call to repent and turn to God, and to humbly have an intimate, personal relationship with the Son.
This is an act of grace on Godās part, and faith on our part. Turning to this Son and trusting that He accepts and receives us instead of destroying us with His power is an act of faith. After all, what do we have in us to merit and deserve His grace? Today we know something that the psalmist might not have understood fully, namely that the Son bore the judgment that sinners and enemies of God deserved on the cross. Only then, do those that believe in His work by faith, find refuge and salvation and true blessing.
The Christian constantly turns away from sin, and turns towards God in Christ as the only basis for acceptance, refuge and salvation. And unlike what the world defines as āthe blessed lifeā, knowing God and having our sins forgiven and not hindering our relationship with Him is the blessed life. Then, we can approach Him with confidence that has been won for us in Christ, knowing that we will not need to bear the judgment and wrath for our past, present and future sins.
This Psalm gives a picture of the blessed man. We see what he does and what he does not do. This is one who does not:
Walks in the counsel of the wicked
Stand in the way of sinners
Sit in the seat of scoffers
Instead, he:
Delights in the law of the LORD
Meditates on the law day and night.
He does not associate with the wicked or takes their counsel. Instead, he enjoys the law of the LORD and chooses to listen and think about it daily. I am reminded that obedience is active and involves our whole being. There are two ways to live, and it is an active choice.
Do I take the counsel from Godās word, or the ways of the world? Am I associating more with the world and allowing their ways of thinking and working to influence me? Do I enjoying reading Godās word and think about it day and night? What are my thoughts filled with?
Psalm 1 shows that Godās word is worth loving and thinking about day and night. Psalm 1:3 shows the outcome ā the man is blessed because he seems to be like a secure tree that is flourishing. He has a constant supply of water, he yields fruit in the right season, he does not die but prospers in his actions. In contrast, Psalm 1:4 shows us that the wicked are fleeting. The Psalm closes out with the opposite of the opening verses. The wicked will not stand and his way will perish in the hands of the LORD.
Thus, it lays out two ways to live ā one of blessing, life and flourishing, and one that leads to death. Instinctively, the choice is clear! And as the opening psalm of this book, it reminds us that Godās word is meant to be delighted in, because it leads to life.
This may be different from what the world thinks. the world may think that choosing Godās word is ādeathā as we die to our desires. But this tells us that true blessing, blessing that lasts, comes in knowing God and His ways.
āFor me to live is __ and to die is _ā
Read Philippians 1:21 and wondered how Iād complete the statement. Paul sees that he has Christ in both life and death. His identity and heart is so secure and fixed on Him and that changes all that he lives for and hopes in.
Paul sees that living means fruitful labour for Christ. He rejoices at the thought of spending his lifeās energy for them (Phil 1:22) and also being poured out as a drink offering (Phil 2:17). This challenges everything the world tells us. The world cajoles us to live for ourselves. Paul presents a different view here. Knowing Christ is better than anything this world can offer and therefore we have the freedom to live for others. Not in a way that seeks approval from them, but in a way that finds joy in their good ā their āprogress and joy in the faithā (Phil 1:25).
When ministry gets hard, when looking out for the interest of others is going to cost me something, look to Christ. Philippians 2 is going to unpack this further, but it is a wonderful reminder that apart from the gospel, we are not able to do it. Do I rejoice at the progress and joy that others have in the faith? Conversely, am I grieved by those who have rejected the faith?
He also sees that death is gain. Gain because there is nothing better than to be with the Christ that he longs for so dearly in life, and the One that he has built his life on. This is the Christianās heart. Our entire life is spent preparing for the wedding, and one day, our faith is turned to sight and we will behold the One our hearts have been truly waiting for.
This Call to Worship from Psalm 113 was initially given on 11 October 2023.
Who is like the LORD our God? This is the guiding question of this psalm that draws out our praise of Him.
His is the God who is high about the nations, whose glory is above the heavens. The most powerful and glorious nation here on earth pales in comparison to Him. That alone is worth of our praise.
But, he is seated on high and looks far down. He doesnāt stand afar and distance Himself from us. What does He do? He raises the poor from the dust, and lifts the needy from the ash heap. To those that society looks down on, or counts as insignificant, He doesnāt disregard! He doesnāt jsut see them, but raises and lifts them to places of power - to be seated with princes, the princes of His people.
He also restored and rehouses those that might be ostracized or have no homes. To the barren woman, He gives a house, and family. He turns hopelessness into hope; despair into joy.
Isnāt this what we all desire, one who uses power for God? Who is like our Lord?
This is the God we come before today. He calls those that are poor in spirit, needy, even feeling like outcast to come, come to Him. Friends, letās come to this God who is high, and powerful, but also stoops to draw us gently. This is the God who though in the very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped! And in His life and death, took on our sins, made a way for the poor and needy to return, and be raised to newness of life.
Is this your story? Then we have every reason to praise Him! Letās turn to God and bless His name together, today and forevermore. His deserves to be praised in the morning, when weāre energetic, or even at night, like now, when weāre less energetic. Tonight, letās come to Him in praise!

Started the week with an encouragement fromĀ TĀ as he led us through Phil 1.
This section where Paul spoke of the joy he found in the faith and partnership of others was both and encouragement and a challenge to me. Tim pointed out how Christian friendship begins and ends with the gospel. There is a joy that comes from seeing others grow in the gospel and also a joy from the certainty that God will see it through. It made me think about my relationships in the household of faithā what brings joy and also sadness, and why I feel what I do?
The challenge is to believe it, by faith. It has been quite an interesting week with multiple chances to go back to this. What a timely and much needed reminder of these truths.Ā
I was listening to this in the car this morning. I loved so many things about this, and talks like these. Fundamentally, these focus on aruging from the Word. Relationally, they do not dismiss real human struggles and needs. Practically, I do wish there were more of such ministries in the church.Ā
The gender controversy can be overly simplified into various categories ā ādo not be feministsā, āsingle vs married, but married is preferredā or when we were younger āBGR: please donāt do things youāll regretā. But sometimes, and increasingly so, we (or maybe itās just me) need to just talkĀ through issues and work out the implications in our various aspects of life.
Thereās no one size fit all approach to life. Even as I whine (yes, Iām grousing) about the need for more thought through ministry of the word by men andĀ women alike (disclaimer: not in the pulpit), I admit that I love more cerebral activites and will learn to accept the need for a variety of things.
But, as she says in the video, femininity is not definied in relation to masculinity. Neither is it about flowers and pink dresses.Ā
Ultimately, the āProverbs 31ā woman is a person made in the image of God.Ā
And the chief end of Man, is to glorify God (by enjoying Him forever, as Piper argues).Ā
