#187 Psalms 138-144

Devoted to Scripture

Day 187 of the podcast, reading Psalms 138-144 NET, read along at:
https://netbible.org/bible/Psalms+138-144/

This is day 187 of our journey.

Today we read 7 psalms of David. In these psalms, David cries out to God in thanks for the many ways that he has been delivered. He recognizes that God knows all things and that nothing escapes his gaze. As such, David places his confidence in God's justice while he is being attacked by deadly enemies. He prays for protection from sin and from the schemes of sinful men. He laments his persecuted state, but relies upon the Lord to deliver him. Instead of turning to despair, He expresses his confidence in God and anticipates God's rich blessings on the nation.

Join me in Psalms 138-144 to praise God for his many acts of deliverance!
