Summary
Lord, we ask that as we study the Psalms together today, that you would guide us by your spirit, open our hearts to what you would have us here and lead us, transform us, and mold us to live according to your word, according to your ways, and in the freedom of your love and mercy today and always. And if you ever want an exercise in fun, do this, find this, find other Psalms than what I'm going to bring up today because I kept finding more, more, more, more, more for every single part. We're going to look first at verses 1 and 2 and then we're going to jump down to 7. We're not going to go there because we're good on time. So we have creation, we have sin, we found repentance, we found God's steadfast love and faithfulness, we see the crucifixion that only God can redeem us. And every time I read it, you know, so if you read through the Bible, which this summer, you have a chance to read through the Bible in three months, when you read through the Bible and come across it, there is no question that it is jarring.
