Psalm 93 - Robed Atop the Waves
From our vantage point, life can often feel like an elaborate game of Chutes and Ladders. Everyone seems to be climbing the ladders of status - whether social, political, or financial - trying to get on top and push others down. This never-ending rat race can feel exhausting and ultimately debilitating. From this seemingly hopeless view, Psalm 93 removes the veil of reality and shows us who is really in charge: "The LORD reigns; he is robed in majesty; the LORD is robed; he has put on strength as his belt" (v. 1). A.W. Tozer famously stated, "What comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us," and that stands especially true here as we stand below the never ending ladders of life looking up at those in "positions of power." God is not threatened by humanity's prideful, trivial, petty attempts at power. Instead, he alone reigns and is robed in power.
The psalmist elaborates on the sovereignty of God by describing the sheer scope of his kingdom: "Yes, the world is established; it shall never be moved. Your throne is established from of old; you are from everlasting" (vv. 1-2). It initially appeared that the psalmist was simply making a statement about the stability of creation, but then he connects the world that has been established to God's very throne that has been established. The psalmist is showing that all of creation is God's throne. Every mile of land that wars rage over is simply the armrests of God. But it's not just the land that God rules over: "The floods have lifted up, O LORD, the floods have lifted up their voice; the floods lift up their roaring. Mightier than the thunders of many waters, mightier than the waves of the sea, the LORD on high is mighty!" (vv. 3-4). The scene is overwhelmingly loud and chaotic; deafening, directionless, disordered creation pelts the face of the reader. But above the insurmountable waves sits the LORD, alone in majesty and might. There is no question who reigns when there is one robed atop the waves.
The psalmist concludes by switching scenes from the vast and ancient landscapes and the tumultuous seas to the serene house of God: "Your decrees are very trustworthy; holiness befits your house, O LORD, forevermore" (v. 5). Since God is the one who sits secure above it all, I can know his decrees and directions to which he calls me are trustworthy and true. I have no interest in obeying the tribes and the tyrants, the voices and the victors, the ramblers and the regimes when I know the one who reigns. The only ladder I will climb is the one that leads me to his holy house.

Psalm 84 - The House of the Lord
There is a significant difference between a house and a home. I have lived in many houses throughout my life so far. My childhood was frequently defined by moving from one dilapidated building to the next with a different guardian. I lived in many different houses, but few homes. A house can be any structure with four walls and a roof that you dwell in, but a home is a place that brings peace, comfort, and security. When you find a home, a place like that, you long to be there. In Psalm 84, the Sons of Korah recognize the one true home - the place of peace, comfort, and security - as the house of the Lord: "Blessed are those who dwell in your house, ever singing your praise!" (v. 4). They declare, "My soul longs, yes faints for the courts of the Lord" (v. 2). In fact, God's house is so great that they proudly proclaim, "For a day in your courts is better than a thousand elsewhere. I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God than dwell in the tents of wickedness" (v. 10).
But where is God's house? Where is this place that the psalmist longs to go? Where is this place where I can truly feel at home? The Sons of Korah describe the location as God's "dwelling place" (v. 1), "courts" (v. 2), "altars" (v. 3), and "Zion" (v. 7). These descriptors seem to refer to a physical, fixed, stationary location that the person of God must travel to, but Scripture ultimately reveals that this home has actually become accessible anytime and anywhere. Jesus tells the Samaritan woman, "the hour is coming when neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem will you worship the Father...the hour is coming, and is now here, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father is seeking such people to worship him" (John 4:21-23). This means that no matter where I am, I can dwell in God's home. No matter the physical location, I can experience the peace, comfort, and security of dwelling with God. I think this is why the psalmist ends by stating, "O Lord of hosts, blessed is the one who trusts in you" (v. 12). The reality of God's life-giving presence is available for all who trust him, no matter where they may be.

Psalm 62 - Waiting in Silence
Much of my life is spent reacting to events out of pure instinct: When I'm accused, I defend myself. When I'm cheated, I complain. When I'm ignored, I lash out. And the list goes on. It is easy to get caught up in the motion and emotion of everyday life. My existence can simply become reactions to my tangible surroundings. In Psalm 62, David seems to take an intentional step back away from this type of automatic reaction to the world around him and instead see the bigger picture.
David observes the events taking place around him: the physical attacks (v. 3), plots of ambush (v. 4), and deceptive words (v. 4). But instead of simply reacting out of instinct that would most likely lead his heart to despair and his hands to guttural, self-protective retaliation, David observes the invisible greater reality: "Once God has spoken; twice have I heard this: that power belongs to God, and that you, O Lord, belongs steadfast love. For you will render to a man according to his work" (vv. 11-12). David knows that even though his circumstances are bleak and the world seems to be spiraling down further into its own destruction, God is in control behind the scenes.
Therefore, David can declare, "For God alone my soul waits in silence; from him comes my salvation. He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress; I shall not be greatly shaken" (vv. 1-2). When I anchor myself to my tangible surroundings and treat them as the sole reality, I will always react like my life depends on it. But when I realize that there is a greater power working behind the scenes who rules in steadfast love and perfect justice, I can silently wait on him. In fact, I can take David's advice to "Trust in him at all times...pour out your heart before him" (v. 8). When God is in control, even if his rule and reign is not always visible, I can wait silently instead of reacting impulsively.

Psalm 13 – How Long, O Lord
How long, O Lord? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me? 2 How long must I take counsel in my soul and have sorrow in my heart all day? How long shall my enemy be exalted over me?
3 Consider and answer me, O Lord my God; light up my eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death, 4 lest my enemy say, “I have prevailed over him,” lest my foes rejoice because I am shaken. 5 But I have trusted in your steadfast love; my heart shall rejoice in your salvation. 6 I will sing to the Lord, because he has dealt bountifully with me.

Wrestling with God
Psalm 13 is one of the clearest examples of a lament prayer. These are the kind of desperate, heart-wrenching, intense prayers that make up much of the book of Psalms and honestly make me uncomfortable and comforted at the same time. If I'm being honest, it makes me uncomfortable to see a devoted follower of God, not to mention the anointed King David, accusing and questioning God so blatantly: "How long, O LORD? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me?" (v.1). How can a man of God get to such a point as to question God's presence? How could the King of God's people who knew God so intimately accuse God of hiding from him? And how could a holy God allow a man to talk to him this way? How could a perfect God let someone accuse him of abandonment like this?
I believe these prayers are uncomfortable to me because they feel too messy, too real, and too close to home to be considered Scripture and "God-breathed." This is the type of messy prayer I often want to pray but am at times too afraid to say out loud. And yet, here it is in Scripture. Why? This is where Psalm 13 becomes comforting. Maybe messy prayers like Psalm 13 are in Scripture because God welcomes my wrestling so much he wants to give me a template, an example on how to do them. Maybe because when God asks me to surrender myself, he means every part of me, not just the presentable parts. Maybe because the Creator wants me to come to him even if all I have are difficult questions because I am still coming to him instead of retreating from him (v.1-2). The truth is, if I never come to God with my difficult questions and feelings of abandonment, I will never get to the point where I can declare "I have trusted in your steadfast love; my heart shall rejoice in your salvation"
