Ps25 is about WAITING correctly before the Lord. That is only the half of it. The other half is the WHEN part. It is the waiting faithfully and expectantly when times are particularly difficult. Anybody can wax poetical during the easy times.

This part of the Bible asks something of you. It is even a heroic ask: Will you WAIT BEFORE THE LORD?

Wait before Him, right after you listen for 7 minutes and then subscribe to the YouTube channel:

Are you smarter than the gate of a city? Psalm 24 certainly hopes so.

For it is there that we see the doors and the gates of a city doing the right thing. They are recognizing correctly, responding appropriately, receiving enthusiastically, and reverencing soberly. Yes the gates are doing the right thing. The doors are doing something.

Watch just 7 minutes to find out if you are smarter than a door.

Here's a trick question: Could you stand in the presence of God?

The short answer is no. Our lot has the stain of sin that would be incongruous in the presence of the pure Holiness of God.

Yet, He makes a way for the unholy, to be with the Holy. He makes a way for us to be with Him. Ultimately, for those going to heaven, He'll make us perfectly holy forever. Meantime, how can we join Him in fellowship?

Ps 24 is an invitation for us to be with Him. Join me and RSVP.

Join me in a wonderful thunderstorm for the conclusion of Psalm 22. He has done it. It is finished. The big victory has been won. Nothing is left to be proven. The principle work of God is finished on the cross.

The rescue operation that started on page 3 of the Bible has been achieved. Psalm 22 forcasts it definitively 1000 years before its accomplishment. Amazing. He's done it. It is finished.

David writes pretty specifically about a person whose hands and feet are pierced and is dehydrated, dislocated, and exhausted. Sounds like a crucifixion in every way.

Here's the kicker: Crucifixion wasn't invented when he wrote this psalm in about 1000BC. He didn't know about crucifixion. Nobody did for another 480 years until the Persians invented it.

We see here a specific prophesy fulfilled by Jesus another 500 years later. The Bible is reliable.

To read Ps. 22 is to join Jesus on the Cross.

There are many descriptions of this unfortunate death embedded in Ps. 22. Of note today, even the bad guys around the cross tell us that Ps. 22 is about Jesus.

It is in Ps 22 we find Jesus entrusting, conversing, and recalling His relationship with the Father. Join me there for 7 minutes.

WHEN a psalm is quoted helps us understand its original intent and purpose. Of note, Ps. 22 is quoted twice when Jesus was slowly being suffocated on the cross. We'd probably benefit by giving it our attention. If you were near death, what psalm would you quote?

Is the "why have you forsaken me" psalm actually about forsaking? Probably not. Stay with me on this one...

Not only do the "heavens declare the glory of God," so does the OCEAN.

Today we'll meet a group of sailors who see it and are without excuse. Unfortunately, they are on some sort of an EVIL Quest, so some discipline from the hand of the Lord is due. Here comes the storm.

The character and characteristics of God are evident in creation. We might do best to attend to it. Do so by subscribing here:
