Psalm 68 (KJV) 1 Let God arise, let his enemies be scattered: let them also that hate him flee before him. 2 As smoke is driven away, so drive them away: as wax melteth before the fire, so let the wicked perish at the presence of God. 3 But let the righteous be glad; let them rejoice…
How do you teach someone how to trust in God and keep the faith when facing troubled times? When it seems all hope is lost, how can one find the courage to endure and persevere? In Psalm 60, David shares a valuable lesson to follow during those challenging times.
It was only my trust in His word and knowledge that He is on my side that I could come to a place of peace. It was only my trust in the truth that God is in control that I could be still and know that He is God. If you ever face a time of great fear, you too, as a child of God, can know that many are the afflictions of the righteous but God delivers them out of them all. Hallelujah!
The scripture says “many are the afflictions of the righteous but God delivers them out of them all” (Psalm 34:19). I, too, have a testimony of God’s love, grace, healing and power that has strengthened me many times in my life. I love to share my testimony in words and songs. I thank God for His faithfulness and immeasurable joy which strengthens me, especially in times of trouble. Surely, He is able to carry you through.
Before reading Psalm 52, one should acquaint themselves with the full context of this story found in 1st Samuel Chapter 22.
Psalm 34 is a testimony of praise to God for His continuous help to us. He is deserving of blessings twenty-four hours a day. He delivers us from dangers seen and unseen. His angels guard and encamp around us, defending us from evil. The scripture says “I will overcome by the blood of the lamb and the words of my testimony”. This is true for us all.
Psalm 32 is a beautiful example of the way God forgives us. When we return to Him with a contrite spirit, he speedily responds with tender mercy and grace. Like the father who welcomed home his prodigal son, God opens His arms to us, returning us back to His loving care and protection.

Psalm 24 begins with the glorious proclamation that God reigns supreme over everything. “The earth is the Lord’s and the fullness thereof.” He is the Founder and Creator of it all. Only the pure of heart and righteous one can commune with God on His holy mountain or in His temple. Handel, the classical composer, put the next verses to triumphant melodies.
