Our Feast Turns To Psalms
August 14, 2013 – Psalms 1 & 2
Today’s Feast
Dear Saints,
Psalms
an overview; “David
was the penman of most of the psalms, but some evidently were composed by other
writers, and the writers of some are doubtful. But all were written by the
inspiration of the Holy Ghost; and no part of the Old Testament is more
frequently quoted or referred to in the New. Every psalm either points
directly to Christ, in his person, his character, and offices; or may lead
the believer's thoughts to Him. And the psalms are the language of the
believer's heart, whether mourning for sin, thirsting after God, or rejoicing
in Him. Whether burdened with affliction, struggling with temptation, or
triumphing in the hope or enjoyment of deliverance; whether admiring the
Divine perfections, thanking God for his mercies, mediating on his truths, or
delighting in his service; they form a Divinely appointed standard of
experience, by which we may judge ourselves. Their value, in this view, is
very great, and the use of them will increase with the growth of the power of
true religion in the heart. By the psalmist's expressions, the Spirit helps
us to pray. If we make the psalms familiar to us, whatever we have to ask at
the throne of grace, by way of confession, petition, or thanksgiving, we may
be assisted from thence. Whatever devout affection is working in us, holy
desire or hope, sorrow or joy, we may here find words to clothe it; sound
speech which cannot be condemned. In the language of this Divine book, the
prayers and praises of the church have been offered up to the throne of grace
from age to age.” - Matthew
Henry Concise Matthew Henry Concise.

“[ To
the Church in Laodicea ] “And to the angel of the
church in Laodicea write: ‘The words of the Amen, the faithful and true
witness, the beginning of God's creation. Behold, I stand at the door and
knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and
eat with him, and he with me.” Revelation
3:14,20 ESV.
