Kingdoms Rise and Fall

ByDebraHillSings

Chapter nine is a defiant shout of David in the face of heathen nations. Just as he did to Goliath, he boldly declares the marvelous works of God. With his whole heart, he sings praises and sees his enemies turned back and destroyed. A Christian life is described as a spiritual warfare. Sometimes, when I am in the midst of this battle, being bombarded on all sides by enemies, it feels like the battle will never end. But in chapter nine, David reminds me to rejoice in my salvation. He rebukes the enemy and has faith that God will give him mercy. God has proven this to be true for me, and through it all, I have learned I can depend on him.

How Great Thou Art

ByDebraHillSings

In the beginning of Psalm chapter eight, David proclaims the greatness of God. When I reflect on the ways mankind has abused, neglected and ravaged our planet, I feel we should all be reminded that all life around us, from the planets to the rivers, mountains and forests, was lovingly created for us by God. I pray that we do better to honor this gesture by cherishing and preserving God’s miraculous creation. And that includes the one that was made in His image, mankind. Let’s take good care of each other.

King of Kings – Psalm 2

ByDebraHillSings

If I were a king, I would consider Psalm chapter two to be a personal warning to me about the way I rule over my kingdom. The verses admonish kings to be wise leaders, serving with reverence for God. Ultimately, Jesus, the King of kings, will be given dominion over the people and all the earth. God will hold kings accountable for the way they lead. As Shakespeare said, “Heavy is the head that wears the crown.”

Influence for Affluence – Psalm 1

ByDebraHillSings

Psalms chapter one compares predictable outcomes when one makes the choice to follow one type of group versus another. As they say, “birds of a feather flock together.” I believe when two or three are gathered together to praise, worship, pray and honor God, then His presence is with them. I delight in being in His presence and love His word. There is so much joy in fellowshipping with others who feel the same. Sounds like heaven, doesn’t it?
