Meditating on the Psalms

 

I’ve just finished reading Following the Shepherd by Peter Jeffrey, it’s an excellent little guide through Psalm 23. It has helped to show me the importance of meditating on the Psalms.

Our Pastor has been encouraging us to meditate on a different Psalm each week in preparation for our time of prayer on Wednesday nights.

PSALM 3

3:1 A Psalm of David when he fled from Absalom his son. LORD, how they have increased who trouble me! Many are they who rise up against me.
2 Many are they who say of me, “There is no help for him in God.” Selah
3 But You, O LORD, are a shield for me, My glory and the One who lifts up my head.
4 ¶ I cried to the LORD with my voice, And He heard me from His holy hill. Selah
5 I lay down and slept; I awoke, for the LORD sustained me.
6 I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people Who have set themselves against me all around.
7 Arise, O LORD; Save me, O my God! For You have struck all my enemies on the cheekbone; You have broken the teeth of the ungodly.
8 Salvation belongs to the LORD. Your blessing is upon Your people. Selah

(Fellow church members - don’t forget the new start time for the Prayer Meeting!)
