Psalms
21 – 23
Psalm 21 is a prayer of worship to God. Verse 21:3 talks
about the abundant life God may give if asked:
True blessings You
lavished upon the king;
a
crown of precious gold You placed upon his head.
I love the Psalms because they show us
there is hope in prayer. Since most were written by David, we can see the
history and time of each one. We get to see prayer in action. How cool is that?
David was blessed after in an essence literally being poo’ed on my King Saul.
Psalm 22 dives into many Messianic
Prophecies. Verse 22:18 is just one glaring example of one:
They make a
game out of dividing my clothes among themselves;
they
cast lots for the clothes on my back.
This is a clear example of what happened to
Jesus on the cross. One could read this two ways, the Psalm is a clear example
of prophecies that Jesus fulfilled to prove He is the Messiah. The other, more
current, one is the story of Jesus was fake. Interestingly, there is no
historical documentation during the time of the original stories that refute
them. I believe the story as written was true and nothing has proven otherwise.
This is proof that Jesus is the Savior.
Psalm 23 is one of the most used in
funerals. Verses 23:1 & 2 are one of the most quoted verses as times get
rough:
1 The
Eternal is my shepherd, He cares for me always.
2 He provides me rest in rich, green fields
beside
streams of refreshing water.
He
soothes my fears;
Unfortunately I don’t like the Voice’s read
here. The NIV, KJV and others sound so much more harmonious and that is the
real flow of Psalms. I would love to hear this in Hebrew and just listen to the
flow.
Guess what Google did for us today!!
