Psalms Walk-Thru, #01 Intro

We are going to take some time to go through the Book of Psalms, if the Lord doesn’t Rapture (1st Cor. 15:51-52) us out of here first.  While I do not like to necessarily have a favorite book of the Bible, as the whole word of God is profitable for learning (2 Tim. 3:16), Psalms has a special place in my heart, where the Lord has given me some real life applications.  A lot of people wouldn’t look to Psalms for doctrine, but Psalms is in reality part of the Holy Scriptures and full of useful doctrine that correlates with the rest of the Bible (Pr. 30:5). 

 

Take a look at how grim things look for our country, how many more disasters are we going to see?  Already we have had devastating hurricanes, flooding, wildfires & what is next?  As the people of our nation continue to rebel against their Creator, I don’t expect that we will see an end to these types of events (Is. 1:21-23).  Too many problems are on the horizon, political problems, an American debt problem, both for our country and the citizens who also hold too much of a burden of debt, as well as looming threats of war, where in all reality millions of our citizens lives hang in the balance, should such a scenario unfold.  People are so concerned about healthcare, financial ‘fitness’, making ends meet, the things of this world, that they are not even contemplating the things of God (Mt. 6:33)  This is dangerous, for when their life is over, who are they going to stand before?  God Almighty. 

 

“Set your mind on things above, not on the things of the earth…”  Colossians 3:2

 

“And I saw the dead, small and great, standing before God. And books were opened. And another book was opened, which is the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to their works, out of the things which were written in the books.  And the sea gave up the dead who were in it, and Death and Hades delivered up the dead who were in them. And they were judged, each one, according to their works.  And Death and Hades were cast into the Lake of Fire. This is the second death.  And anyone not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the Lake of Fire.”  Revelation 20:12-15

 

Amen!
