Songs of Strength and Wisdom (Psalm 17)

Have you ever prayed when life pressed you from every side—when enemies seemed near, strength was failing, and you had nowhere else to turn? That’s the heart of Psalm 17. David cries out to God not from comfort, but from danger. In his words we learn how to: ✅ Pray with integrity and a clear conscience ✅ Rest under God’s wings of protection ✅ Lift our eyes from fleeting treasures to eternal satisfaction in His presence Psalm 17 reminds us that true strength is not found in what we possess, but in the God who hears, defends, and satisfies His people.

Songs of Strength and Wisdom (Psalm 14)

Psalm 14 opens with one of the boldest declarations in Scripture: “The fool says in his heart, ‘There is no God.’” But David is not merely launching a polemic against atheism—he is painting a spiritual landscape in which godlessness leads to moral collapse. Though this psalm is over 3,000 years old, its critique remains startlingly … Continue reading Songs of Strength and Wisdom (Psalm 14)

Songs of Strength and Wisdom (Psalm 13)

We sing praise. We offer thanksgiving. But when was the last time we lamented—truly, biblically, lamented? Psalm 13 is a model of a spiritual discipline we’ve nearly lost. Yet, throughout Scripture, from Job to Jeremiah, from the Psalms to Paul, the faithful pour out their pain with honesty before God. Lament is not faithlessness—God welcomes … Continue reading Songs of Strength and Wisdom (Psalm 13)

Songs of Strength and Wisdom (Psalm 12)

We live in a world flooded with words—tweets, headlines, podcasts, emails, comment sections, political speeches, and advertising slogans. But not all words build up. Many deceive. Some seduce. Others destroy. We’ve learned how to weaponize language: spin replaces truth, sarcasm replaces sincerity, and words become tools of manipulation and self-promotion rather than honesty and connection. … Continue reading Songs of Strength and Wisdom (Psalm 12)

Songs of Strength and Wisdom (Psalm 9 and Psalm 10)

Our world doesn’t just tolerate wickedness—it often celebrates it. The arrogant prosper. The greedy grow powerful. The violent rise to fame. In the middle of this, the righteous cry out: “Where is God?” That’s the very tension Psalms 9 and 10 explore.  Though divided in our modern Bibles, the rare ‘Selah’ at the end of … Continue reading Songs of Strength and Wisdom (Psalm 9 and Psalm 10)

Songs of Strength and Wisdom (Psalm 8)

Have you ever stepped outside on a cloudless night—far from city lights—and looked up? The stars stretch across the sky like diamonds scattered on black velvet, and for a moment, the world feels still. As the galaxies shimmer above, you can’t help but feel tiny—just one life beneath a trillion stars. David knew that feeling. … Continue reading Songs of Strength and Wisdom (Psalm 8)

Songs of Strength and Wisdom (Psalm 7)

Accused. Misunderstood. Hunted Like Prey. Psalm 7 is David’s raw and passionate prayer when slander threatened to tear him apart. Before seeking justice, he sought God’s correction. Before pleading for vindication, he examined his own heart. When we face accusations and criticism, Psalm 7 offers a model for a godly response. This psalm was written … Continue reading Songs of Strength and Wisdom (Psalm 7)
