    Ask what I shall give thee. 1 Kings 3:5.

    SOLOMON CHOOSES WISDOM. 1 Kings 3:5-12. Solomon started well: ‘he loved the LORD, walking in the statutes of David his father’ (cf. 1 Kings 3:3a).

    Fear the LORD, and it shall be well with thee.

    BLESSED SHALT THOU BE. Psalm 128:1-6. There are two words translated “blessed” in this Psalm. The first is ‘Esher,’ from which we have the name ‘Asher,’ and it means ‘how blessed,’ or ‘happy.’ So we have, “How blessed is every one that fears the LORD” (Psalm 128:1); but then, “happy shalt ...read more

    The folly of living as if there is no God. A people made righteous by grace. Their persecution and deliverance.

    UNBELIEVING BEHAVIOUR AND THE GRACE OF GOD. Psalm 14. The first verse of this Psalm is well known as an argument against those who deny the very existence of God (Psalm 14:1). I am sure I have heard it preached in that way, I know I have read it so, and maybe have even mentioned it in such a ...read more

     | 1,547 views

    1-2. Importunate prayer. 11-15. Meditating upon the works and wonders God. 16-20. Remembering our salvation history.

    WHO IS SO GREAT AS OUR GOD? Psalm 77:1-2, Psalm 77:11-20. PSALM 77:1. “I cried unto God with my voice.” This sounds like one persistent prolonged or repeated cry.
