Have you asked God for something and felt like you got no response? The people ask God for a king. God says He will give them a king, and the chapter ends with Samuel telling them, "Go back to your cities." Who's the king? You ask God for something, but instead you are off track, and thing

Have you ever felt stuck? When we’re there, we feel like there's no way forward, and we feel hopeless — even desperate! The author of Psalm 118 felt that way. In two verses, he repeats four times that his enemies surrounded him. But in that time of distress, he remembered God's steadfast love an...

What's most important? How do we spend our limited resources like time and money? Though Psalm 117 is the shortest of all, it reminds us what’s most important of all: Praise the Lord. The universe exists for this purpose. The psalm calls us to praise God for two key attributes: His love and truth....

Does prayer matter? If God’s sovereign, is there any point to prayer? Psalm 116 answers those questions by confirming that prayer is important and effective. Why? Because when we pray, we call out to a God Who loves us and Who responds to our prayers with what is good for us. We are precious in Hi...

What do Buddha, a trillion dollars, and the highest IQ have in common? They’re not God. They didn’t create the universe. They can’t save you and grant life eternal. Psalm 115 calls the reader to give glory and trust to the Lord alone. "Not unto us, O Lord, not unto us, but to Your name give gl...

Have you ever been surprised by a "road closed" sign? Part of you wonders, "Is it really closed? Could I get through?" Another part scrambles to find a different destination route. In life, we can feel like we keep hitting "road closed" signs. The obstacles of life leav

Does God ever feel far away? When we praise Him for His greatness and glory, He can seem so far from us. Why would He ever have anything to do with me and my mess? Psalm 113 corrects our view of God, reminding us that He’s both high and humble. He deserves to be exalted above all because He stoops...

What hobbies impacted you? Maybe sports kept us out of trouble, music helped us through hard times, reading cultivated our imagination, or woodworking reduced stress. We become devoted to things we enjoy, especially when they’ve played an important role in shaping our lives. We give time, effort, ...

What are you afraid of? What we often don't realize is that our fears shape our lives. Our fears affect our sleep, activities, decisions, and relationships. Psalms 112 encourages us to fear the Lord above all. An appropriate awe and reverence for God result in many blessings for the believer. Our li
