Summary Post: Summer in the Psalms
All the psalms we have studied this summer in one place.
Praise to the King! (Psalm 148)
After our journey through the psalms, what else can we do but praise Him?
Search Me, O God! (Psalm 139)
Though I was familiar with parts of Psalm 139, I had not really studied it as a whole. What it was saying was far greater than I imagined.
Constantly Kept by God (Psalm 121)
One of the most amazing and comforting things as we journey through life is that we are kept by God. He is by our side constantly. Let Psalm 121 be your comfort and confidence as you walk out your days.
The Prayers of an Exile (Psalm 90)
Sometimes we forget that we are exiles that don't belong here, pilgrims on a journey to our future home. Psalm 90 shows us six prayers to pray, based on God's eternal character.
When Suffering Turns to Sin (Psalm 73)
When we suffer, it is easy to blame others for our problems. But let's take a cue from Asaph, who honestly faced his own sinful response before God--and found a way out.
All Hail the King! (Psalm 72)
As a child of God, we are children of the King. What is this King like and how does knowing Him change how we pray and live?
Praying Through the Hard Times (Psalms 42-43)
