Psalm 111

We shouldn't just trust him because of his great works; we should expect great works because we trust him.

God has done great things, and his power is beyond imagining. He should be praised for both. The most amazing thing isn't what he's done in the past, though. It's that he's promised to do it in the future.

Psalm 102

We have assurances that everything will be made right in future, but sometimes it's very hard right now. We just have to remember that that God's always been faithful in the past, and there's no reason to think he won't be in the future.

Things may look bad now, but we just have to be patient, because this too shall be made right.

Psalm 101

I've dubbed this the Netflix Psalm.

Reading this right after writing about something I found on Netflix opened my eyes to just how much I've comprehend with evil. Whereas in this psalm David says he won't set any evil before his eyes, but I decide how much evil is acceptable. I'm not better than David. No man can serve two masters.

Psalm 22

it is honestly difficult to see how someone could know this psalm and not see it as a prophecy of Jesus Christ. I understand that it would have meant something else in 1000 BC, but on this side of the resurrection it seems obvious.

Who else could it be about?

Psalm 11

Evil people can do what they like. God is still God.

They can scatter the righteous, slander them, and even try to kill them. In the end it just doesn't matter. God will always be God, and he'll always take care of his people.
