God’s Word for You – Colossians 2:18-19 Do not let anyone disqualify you
GOD’S WORD FOR YOU COLOSSIANS 2:18-19 18 Do not let anyone disqualify you of the reward by delighting in false humility and the worship of angels, taking a stand on what he has seen. He is vainly puffed up by his unspiritual mind. There was evidently a group in Colosse, possibly an entire cult, which […]
God’s Word for You – Psalm 85:8-13 righteousness and peace kiss each other
GOD’S WORD FOR YOU PSALM 85:8-13 8 I will hear what God the LORD will say. He promises peace to his people, his saints– but let them not return to folly. Peace from the Lord God means forgiveness and everything that comes with it. In reverse order, these things include eternal life, the […]
God’s Word for You – Psalm 85:4-7 The Means of Grace
GOD’S WORD FOR YOU PSALM 85:4-7 4 Restore us again, O God our Savior, and put away your displeasure toward us. 5 Will you be angry with us forever? Will you prolong your anger through all generations? 6 Will you not revive us again, that your people may rejoice in you? After such […]
God’s Word for You – Psalm 85:1-3 You covered over all their sins
GOD’S WORD FOR YOU PSALM 85:1-3 Psalm 85 This Psalm divides neatly into two parts. First there is a confession faith in God’s saving acts, and then there is a response to God’s salvation. It would be simple and by no means simplistic to say that here we have justification and sanctification divided only by […]
God’s Word for You – Psalm 84:10-12 I would rather stand at the door
GOD’S WORD FOR YOU PSALM 84:10-12 10 Better is one day in your courts than a thousand elsewhere. I would rather stand at the door of the house of my God than dwell in the tents of the wicked. 11 A sun and shield is the LORD God, he gives grace and honor.* —————————— * […]
God’s Word for You – Psalm 84:5-9 our Shield
GOD’S WORD FOR YOU PSALM 84:5-9 5 Those whose strength is in you are blessed, those who have set their hearts on pilgrimage. 6 As they pass through the Valley of Baca, they make it a place of springs, The autumn rains also cover it with blessings.* —————————— * 84:6 blessings. A […]
God’s Word for You – Colossians 2:16-17 do not let anyone judge you
GOD’S WORD FOR YOU COLOSSIANS 2:16-17 16 Therefore do not let anyone judge you in matters of food and drink or of observing festivals, New Moons, or Sabbaths. 17 These are only a shadow of things to come, but the substance belongs to Christ. This “therefore” should stand in our minds like twenty-foot tall letters […]
God’s Word for You – Psalm 84:1-4 How lovely is your dwelling place
GOD’S WORD FOR YOU PSALM 84:1-4 Psalm 84 For the choir director. According to Gittith. Of the Sons of Korah. A psalm. As we saw earlier in Psalm 81:1, “Gittith” is a musical style which may have involved intonation, instruments, or even rhythmic elements. The three Biblical “Gittith” psalms (8, 81, 84) are dissimilar enough […]
God’s Word for You – Psalm 54:4-7 where do good works come from?
GOD’S WORD FOR YOU PSALM 54:4-7 4 Truly, God is my helper. The Lord is the one who sustains my life. 5 He will repay my enemies with evil. Destroy them in your faithfulness. This part of the Psalm is a typical example of a prayer for God to bring justice on his […]
God’s Word for You – Psalm 54:1-3 Clear me of blame
GOD’S WORD FOR YOU PSALM 54:1-3 PSALM 54 To the choir director. With stringed instruments. A Maskil of David. When the Ziphites went to Saul and said, “Is David not hiding among us?” David wrote this Psalm. The heading mentions Ziphites. Ziph was a village “at the extremity of the tribe of Judah toward the […]
God’s Word for You – Psalm 81:8-16 If only
GOD’S WORD FOR YOU PSALM 81:8-16 8 Hear, O my people, while I warn you! O Israel, if only you would listen to me! Suddenly, after what seemed as if it was a call to praise going out to people who were willing to praise, the Psalmist serves God by condemning the listeners. They […]
God’s Word for You – Psalm 81:1-7 Sing to God our strength
GOD’S WORD FOR YOU PSALM 81:1-7 Psalm 81 Psalm 81 is a sad song. It begins with a reminder of some of the ways God has blessed his people, even testing their faith. But beginning with verse 8, following an interlude (“selah”), God preaches about his people’s failure to keep the First Commandment. Perhaps they […]
