In today’s reading David goes through a long list of things required by man to be on solid foundation with God. He finishes the end of Psalm 15:5 with, He who does these things will never be shaken. Do not be mistaken, these are not requirements for salvation, they are requirements for living a blameless life and in turn a life in relationship with God, our Heavenly Father.

The denial of God’s existence doesn’t make it true. This is what Psalm 14:1 says about it. The fool says in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt, their deeds are vile; there is no one who does good. This Psalm is very clear.

In the midst of despair, David trusts in the Lord to deliver him and provide relief. In Psalm 13:5 David says, But I trust in your unfailing love; my heart rejoices in your salvation. Even in the middle of it, David knows God is able to deliver him. Let us never lose sight of God’s ability to deliver us from our own despair. We are never alone and we never have to face it alone because He is with us.

In today’s reading David describes a wicked world. In many ways he is describing the same world we live in today. But there is hope. In Psalm 12:7 he says, O Lord, you will keep us safe and protect us from such people forever. God will always protect us and keep us safe from the wicked, just like he kept David safe over 3,000 years ago.

When we trust in God, we can face our problems head on because He is a just and righteous God. In Psalm 11:7 David says, For the Lord is righteous, he loves justice; upright men will see his face. When we are upright and faithful to God, we are able to look to God and know He will protect us from evil, even after death.

In today’s reading we see the author questioning where God is in times of trouble. It starts with with Psalm 10:1 Why, O Lord, do you stand far off? Why do you hide yourself in times of trouble? We all feel alone at times and it is OK to question where God is when things are not going well. But we all must continue to have faith that God will act when His time is right. It is not always in our timing, but it is in God’s perfect timing.

Today we read the last psalm in the book or Psalm. The very last verse in Psalm 150:6 says, Let everything that has breath praise the LORD. Praise the Lord. Because God is the creator of the universe, and because He loves us so much, and because He is worth of our praise, we must praise Him with all we are and all we have. Praise the Lord!

It is sometimes easy to forget that God was here even bore the earth was formed. We live within the confines of time and space, but God does not. Psalm 90:2 says, Before the mountains were born or you brought forth the earth and the world, from everlasting to everlasting you are God. God was here before the beginning of our history and He will continue to be here beyond what we can even comprehend. Nothing that is happening to us or around us is a surprise to God. Let us not fret about the little things and instead realize God has it all under control.

In today’s reading the authors (The Sons of Korah) describe the city of God where all believers will one day gather together to worship our God. It is always interesting to see how the Old and New Testaments are interwoven to tell one story of God’s grace and mercy.
