GOD’S WORD FOR YOU PSALM 104:5-18 In this part of the psalm, the writer brings us back to the Third Day of creation, to look both a the creating that took place on that day, and on the things that were created — the land with its formations, the grass, the plants — and he […]
God’s Word for You – Psalm 104:1-4 winds his messengers
GOD’S WORD FOR YOU PSALM 104 The 104th Psalm is a masterpiece of Hebrew poetry. The poet sings about the created wonders of God, and he uses the framework of the days of creation in Genesis 1 as his outline. But he does even more. He has arranged the psalm in a skillful pattern of […]

GOD’S WORD FOR YOU PSALM 23:6 6 Surely goodness and mercy will pursue me all the days of my life, and I will live in the house of the LORD forever. I worked at a McDonald’s restaurant in my hometown for more than eight years. For part of that time, I didn’t have a car, […]

God’s Word for You – Psalm 23:2
GOD’S WORD FOR YOU PSALM 23:2 2 He causes me to lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside quiet waters. Here David recalls the words of the first Psalm, where the believer “is like a tree planted by streams of water” (Ps. 1:3). God places us exactly where we need to be. […]
God’s Word for You – Psalm 23:1 There is nothing else I need.
GOD’S WORD FOR YOU PSALM 23:1 1 The LORD is my shepherd. There is nothing else I need. What a wonderful thing, to be content. Do we think that only a simple person, a child perhaps, could be content? But to be simple is not to be inferior. To want less and to have less […]
