    The psalmist faced the same kind of choices we face. He may not have been living through a pandemic, deciding for or against mask, for or against vaccines or deciding which political party is right or wrong, yet he offers some great advice.

This psalm and the three preceding it reveals all the postures of worship: David presented in all the ...read more
