All this has come upon us,though we have not forgotten you,and we have not been false to your covenant.Our heart has not turned back,nor have our steps departed from your way;yet you have broken us in the place of jackalsand covered us with the shadow of death.If we had forgotten the name of our GodorContinue reading “Psalm 44: 17-26….What do you think?”

Psalm 44: 9-17…..Is this self deception?
But you have rejected us and disgraced usand have not gone out with our armies.You have made us turn back from the foe,and those who hate us have gotten spoil.You have made us like sheep for slaughterand have scattered us among the nations.You have sold your people for a trifle,demanding no high price for them.YouContinue reading “Psalm 44: 9-17…..Is this self deception?”

‘I will give you the holy and sure blessings of David.’Therefore he says also in another psalm,“‘You will not let your Holy One see corruption.’For David, after he had served the purpose of God in his own generation, fell asleep and was laid with his fathers and saw corruption, but he whom God raised upContinue reading “Acts 13: 34b-41….David could not have been talking about himself!”
Psalm 41: 7-13….Trust in the midst of problems.
All who hate me whisper together about me;they imagine the worst for me.They say, “A deadly thing is poured out on him;he will not rise again from where he lies.”Even my close friend in whom I trusted,who ate my bread, has lifted his heel against me.But you, O LORD, be gracious to me,and raise meContinue reading “Psalm 41: 7-13….Trust in the midst of problems.”
