Our Response To His Reign
As we close out this section dealing with the Reign of the Lord, we look at how we should respond to the fact that God is Sovereign over all.
Bible Text: Psalms 97-100
Come Let Us Worship!
We are given an incredible invitation to come and worship the Lord. There is joy and blessing that comes as we fix our eyes on the King who reigns, and give Him the praise that He deserves. We explore the goodness of God and the response we are to have as worshippers in these two Psalms.
Bible Text: Psalms 95-96
The Promise and Power of His Reign
These Psalms reminds us that God not only reigns, but His reign is eternal. It has no beginning and no end. And He is mightier than any kind of opposition. One day He will carry out vengeance and justice to all that have fought against His reign.
May you know the blessing of submitting to Him and enjoy the peace of His reign today.
Bible Text: Psalms 93-94
Fresh and Flourishing
It is good to give thanks to the Lord this Psalm declares. How true that is! There is blessing and strength for those that look to God in praise. Though trouble may mount around us, God will uphold us. Though we may grow old or tired, those who are planted in the house of the Lord will remain fresh and flourishing.
Bible Text: Psalm 92
Teach Us To Number Our Days
Have you ever stopped to ponder what you’re doing with your life? And not just down the road, but each day that you have? This passage helps us to see the frailty of man, but so that we can properly number our days and make the most of them. Thankfully the Lord is a great shelter and protector of our lives. We don’t have to live in fear but at rest in His arms so that we can be making these lives count!
Bible Text: Psalms 90-91
The Faithfulness Of God
Ever been perplexed when looking at circumstances and situations around you that seem to contradict what God says in His Word? Does it ever seem like God’s promises are not being fulfilled or do you wonder if they ever will? Psalm 89 is such a Psalm as the writer struggles to view the promises God had made in light of what he sees happening around him. Yet through it all we see the complete faithfulness of God. His promises will never be broken!
Bible Text: Psalm 89
Trusting God in Tough Times
We’ve all experienced difficulty I’m sure. Even times where we wonder where God is or what He’s doing? Yet it’s in these times that we need to trust the Lord all the more. Because He is with us and will help us. “In the day of my trouble I will call upon You, for You will answer me.” – Psalm 86:7
Bible Text: Psalms 86-88
Pursuit In Pilgrimage
The Psalmist longs to come and meet with the Lord. His heart and flesh cry out for the living God. What kind of passion and desire do we have for the Lord? What a blessing we have to come and meet with Him and commune with the Living God. And as we see, no good thing will He withhold from those who walk uprightly.
Bible Text: Psalms 84-85
Jubilation to Judgment
God desires to bless His people. He’s done it over and over in the history of His dealings with man. But too often we go back to follow our own ways rather than Gods ways. This not only removes us from the flow of His blessing, but often brings judgment. These Psalms remind us the Lord will return as either Judge, or Saviour. The difference depends on how we receive Him now.
Bible TExt: Psalms 81-83
Restore Us O God
Does God desire to bless you or curse you? It’s hard to imagine God’s blessing when undergoing judgment. Yet it’s through judgment that He hopes to bring you back to where you need to be to receive blessing and experience the face of the Lord shining on you. This is what these Psalms point us to.
Bible Text: Psalms 79-80

Bible Text: Psalm 78:1-72
God Is…
There may come times in your life when you wonder where God is, is He going to do anything? As we look at these chapters we see that God is indeed at work and active. God is Judge, God is Deliverer, and God is Faithful. He’s holding it all together and we have to simply trust Him.
