Psalm 67: Having Joy and Thankfulness – Through the Bibles series
Today’s Psalm encourages us to have joy, to be thankful, to praise and rightly divide. We learn that we are not to exalt ourselves, but only Him.
Listen here:
Psalm 66 “The One Who Proves Us”- Through the Bible series
In today’s Psalm, God is praised for being the one who made time, yet is not held by it. For proving his people through trials, encouraged to wait on Him and his timing, as well as sharing some of my own recent personal experiences where God has been trying me.
We also talk a lot about keeping our word and not committing idolatry.
Listen here:
Through the Bible Series: Psalm 65 “Making and Breaking Vows”
It’s been a while, but we are back, and continuing through our study of the Psalms.
Today’s Psalm talks about making and breaking vows, and the seriousness of making a commitment and keeping your word, and advises us to not make rash decisions, but thoughtful ones.
We also talk on the Biblical New Year that is now here, and the importance of being on God’s time.
satisfied
New Year
Be still
making and breaking vows, not saying or promising something without thinking it through
Kinsman redeemer covering us
God calms the waves and his people
HAPPY NEW YEAR! YES, IN MARCH!
Deuteronomy 16:1 states: “Observe the month of Abib, and keep the Passover unto the LORD thy God: for in the month of Abib the LORD thy God brought thee forth out of Egypt by night”.
