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 15)
Every Sunday morning, an often quiet drama unfolds. All across the world, sleepy eyes blink open. Alarms are silenced. Coffee brews. And somewhere in that slow shuffle of weekend routine, the question stirs: “Am I going to church today?” Sometimes the answer is a joyful yes. Other times, it’s a sigh, a shrug, or an … Continue reading Songs of Strength and Wisdom (Psalm 15)
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 11)
“In the LORD I take refuge; how can you say to my soul, ‘Flee like a bird to your mountain’?” —Psalm 11:1 When life begins to fall apart—when the moral, spiritual, or societal foundations crack—what do you do? Where do you go? Who do you trust? Psalm 11 gives us the answer: We do not … Continue reading Songs of Strength and Wisdom (Psalm 11)
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)
Songs of Strength and Wisdom (Psalm 6)
When the night feels endless, where do you turn?When your heart is heavy with guilt, your body weary with grief, and your soul hollowed by regret—what words remain? The Psalms are filled with praise and triumph, but not every song rises from joy. Some are carved from sorrow. Some are whispered through tears. And some—like … Continue reading Songs of Strength and Wisdom (Psalm 6)
