In Psalm 4, David is appealing to our Heavenly Father to be gracious and listen to his prayer. Prayer is much more about us finding out our Father's will, getting on His page, than it is about telling Him what to do. Prayer connects us with our Heavenly Father and...

Psalm 107 uses the sailors who go down to the sea in ships as an illustration of how our Heavenly Father can bring us through the rough waters of life. There are many lessons we can learn from the sea and sailing. Navigation with a compass that must be set properly on...

Psalm 89 is a reminder of how trustworthy our Heavenly Father is. Sometimes He needs to discipline us when we step out of line, but it is not out of meanness, but rather He is trying to get our attention so that He can get us back on the right track. The text invites...

In this time of great political divide, friends are leaving friends, and this is a sad state of affairs. In Psalm 55, David speaks of a friend that he used to have sweet fellowship with who turned on him and became an enemy. How does this happen? Yashua/Jesus told us...

The subject of the Hebrew meaning of blood (???? - "dahm" in Hebrew) came up in a conversation this past week, so I decided to see what David had to say about blood in the Psalms. Psalm 72 tells us that the blood of the righteous is precious in the site of our...

Have you ever wondered what was going through Yashua's/Jesus's mind while he was on the cross? One of the clues is His statement, "My God, why have you forsaken me?" We find those same words in the first verse of Psalm 22, and it causes me to wonder and speculate that...

A friend of mine had a dream recently that showed a huge black wave coming in while swimming at the beach. The word that was spoken to her was, "Come up to higher ground." She then received the words of Psalm 24 that asks, "Who will ascend to the hill of the Lord?" I...

Psalm 7 tells us that those with evil intentions dig pits to trap the unsuspecting, but in the end, they fall into those pits themselves. This is one of the deprecatory Psalms that issues warnings to those who choose not to follow our Heavenly Father's instructions...
