Share a comment When contempt gets loud and courage feels thin, the Songs of Ascent offer a map for the weary. We walk through Psalms 123–126 to face scorn without folding, steady our gaze on the One enthroned in heaven, and find the grit to keep sowing truth when tears blur our vision. The journey is honest about pain, clear about hope, and relentless about God’s faithful presence. We start with Psalm 123’s raw confession—more than enough of contempt—and learn why expectation matters: hosti...
Share a comment Songs on the road have a way of pulling us forward when life pulls us apart. We walk through Psalms 120–122 and the ancient tradition of the Songs of Ascent—lyrics sung by pilgrims climbing toward Jerusalem—that still steady modern hearts surrounded by noise, deceit, and conflict. We start with a clear-eyed look at a world that prefers war to peace and lies to truth, then learn how honest lament becomes the first step of real pilgrimage. From there, we rethink the familiar li...
Share a comment What if your love for God could be traced, line by line, through your love for his Word? We walk through Psalm 119 with four searching questions—do you love Scripture, memorize it, understand it, and apply it—and discover how a prayerful posture turns pages into pathways. From the warmth of old letters that meant more because of who wrote them, to the grit of hiding verses in your heart, to a humble plea for open eyes, this conversation connects the psalmist’s ancient song to ...
Share a comment What if God’s favorite exclamation point is repetition? We walk through Psalm 119 to show how 187 references to Scripture aren’t filler but a loving insistence: stay close to the Word that guards your steps and renews your heart. From the psalm’s acrostic design to its eight synonyms for Scripture—precepts, statutes, testimonies, and more—we unpack how the Bible does more than inform your mind. It supervises your choices, keeps your path pure, and becomes the steady voice when...
Share a comment Taunts sting. “Where is your God?” isn’t just an ancient insult; it’s a modern ache heard at work, online, and in our own doubts. We walk through Psalms 115–118 to find a better reply than defensiveness: worship that puts glory where it belongs and trust that rests in a living God who sees, speaks, and saves. We start with Psalm 115’s bracing honesty—idols glitter but cannot act, while the unseen Lord is our help and shield. That truth steadies courage under pressure and call...
Share a comment Awe begins where attention lives. We open Psalms 111–114 and follow a path from studying God’s works in creation to trusting his hand in history and obeying his word in the present. From electric eels to the Cavendish Laboratory, we connect scientific wonder with the psalmist’s claim: Great are the works of the Lord, studied by all who delight in them. That study does not stop at atoms and galaxies; it moves into redemption, memory, and song. We then shift to Psalm 112 to ask...
Share a comment Start with a map for real-life trouble: Psalm 107 charts a path from crisis to gratitude with a pattern anyone can follow—cry out, receive comfort, confess thanks. From wanderers in deserts to sailors in storms, we see how God meets people in need and turns distress into worship. That pattern becomes a template for praying honestly and trusting deeply when life feels unstable. We then explore how Psalm 108 proves that truth doesn’t expire. By reusing lyrics from earlier psalm...
Share a comment Start with a sky full of galaxies and a drop of pond water alive with unseen creatures, and you begin to sense the scale and precision of a world crafted by a wise Creator. We follow that thread from Psalm 104’s vision of light, winds, and angels to a tender image of a wild donkey finding water in the desert. The point is simple and life-giving: God is both vast beyond measure and near enough to meet us where we hide, offering what we need when we feel barren and alone. From ...
Share a comment What if the difference between despair and steady joy is the gap between belief and conviction? We walk through Psalms 101–103 and show how concrete “I will” commitments, honest lament, and active remembrance can reshape daily life. David’s nine vows in Psalm 101 move beyond theology on paper and into habits that hold under pressure: singing of steadfast love and justice, pondering a blameless way, walking with integrity at home, and guarding our eyes from what is worthless. T...
Share a comment What if thanksgiving isn’t a mood but a choice that reshapes the soul? We dive into Psalm 100 to explore a gritty, hopeful vision of gratitude that holds firm when life is heavy. With Stephen Davey guiding the journey, we look at how Scripture calls us to make a joyful noise, serve with gladness, and enter God’s presence with singing—even when it feels anything but natural. We talk through the surprising model Jesus gives on the night before the cross, offering thanks over sy...
Share a comment When the scoreboard of life looks bleak, what if the final score is already printed? We walk through Psalms 96–99 to explore a bold claim that reshapes fear, purpose, and hope: the Lord reigns. From the first call to “sing a new song” to the closing vision of a holy King in Zion, these psalms draw a straight line from salvation to sovereignty and from worship to witness. We unpack the ancient picture of runners bearing victory news and connect it to our calling to share the go...
Share a comment Start with the ruins and listen for the roar of hope. We open Psalms 93–95 where a returning Levite stares at a shattered Jerusalem and chooses a bigger truth: the Lord reigns, robed in majesty, and history unfolds under His steady hand. That vision doesn’t deny pain; it gives courage to rebuild, obey, and witness when opposition feels endless. From there we ask the question that haunts long nights: does God really see and hear what we’re going through? Psalm 94 answers by ta...
Share a comment Time gets real when you can hold it in your hand. We take a candid look at Psalm 90–92 and show how translating years into months can turn abstract wisdom into daily action. Moses’ prayer—teach us to number our days—becomes a practical rhythm through a simple marble-in-a-vase practice that keeps priorities honest, fuels gratitude, and nudges us toward decisions that actually align with our values and faith. From there, we press into what truly lasts. Psalm 90’s closing plea a...
Share a comment Loneliness doesn’t always arrive with an empty room; it often walks beside crowded schedules and smiling faces. We open Psalms 88 and 89 to face that ache head-on and discover why Scripture refuses to sanitize the struggle. Heman the Ezrahite, a seasoned choir leader, sings a prayer that lives in a minor key—no quick fixes, no neat bow. He empties his heart before God, frustration included, and shows us that honest lament is an act of trust. From there, we uncover a simple pat...
Share a comment Feeling spiritually dull, distracted, or distant from God? This conversation charts a practical, hope-filled path back to joy and close fellowship, anchored in Psalms 85–87. We unpack why revival is for believers—those already made alive in Christ who need the Spirit’s smelling salts to wake desire and restore direction—and how confession, obedience, and Scripture become the engine of a real fresh start. We start with Psalm 85’s honest prayer, Will you not revive us again, an...
Share a comment What do you do when power gets twisted and the people meant to protect end up harming? We step into Psalms 82–84 with Stephen Davy to face injustice head-on, explore accountability for leaders, and discover how real peace can take root before any court sets things right. This is a journey from outrage to orientation: God is just, He sees motives, and He calls rulers, judges, and officials to defend the weak, rescue the needy, and refuse partiality. That standard is not theoret...
Share a comment What do you do when the fallout from your choices feels unbearable? We walk with Asaph through Psalms 79–81 and find a clear path forward: own the consequences without excuses, cry out for compassion with honest humility, and rediscover joy through worship that remembers God’s faithfulness. The backdrop is grim—Babylon has burned the temple, the sacrificial system has collapsed, and the nation sits in ruins—yet the songs refuse despair. Asaph models a posture that says, “How l...
Share a comment A single footprint in the sand can change everything. We open with a milestone: The Wisdom Journey is launching on satellite TV in Arabic, bringing verse-by-verse Bible teaching to millions across the Arabic-speaking world. That global step sets the stage for a message drawn from Psalm 77 and Psalm 78—where God’s hidden footprints meet a very public assignment to pass on truth. We sit with Asaph’s poetry in Psalm 77, tracing how God moves through storms and seas in ways we ca...
Share a comment What do you do when the fallout from your choices lingers and the path ahead feels slow and heavy? We walk through Psalms 74–76 to trace a hopeful arc: from the ashes of Jerusalem’s temple and Asaph’s aching how long, to God’s set time of judgment, to a stunning rescue that left an empire’s army silent. Along the way, we grapple with a hard kindness—God disciplines those he loves—and a deeper promise that the King from of old never abandons his people. We begin with the reali...
Share a comment When life looks unfair and the loudest wins seem to go to the least deserving, it’s easy to slip into resentment. We sit with Asaph in Psalm 73 as he names those hard questions, then watch the hinge moment: stepping into God’s sanctuary and seeing everything—success, suffering, and the future—through a clearer lens. That shift doesn’t erase pain, but it reframes the story around destiny rather than optics. We unpack how Asaph moves from envy to empathy by “considering their e...
