HEAR Journaling -  Psalms Chapter 29

Highlight – Psalms Chapter 29: New Living Translation

A psalm of David.

2 Honor the Lord for the glory of his name. Worship the Lord in the splendor of his holiness.

3 The voice of the Lord echoes above the sea.  The God of glory thunders. The Lord thunders over the mighty sea.4 The voice of the Lord is powerful; the voice of the Lord is majestic.5 The voice of the Lord splits the mighty cedars; the Lord shatters the cedars of Lebanon.

Explain – The Author, David the Psalmist, said to honor the Lord for the glory of His name.  Worship Him in the splendor of His holiness.  David goes on to describe the might, power, and majesty of God’s voice.

Apply – We can know all about God’s voice, the might, power, and majesty, but how much sweeter to know God’s voice, to spend time with Him, to communicate with Him like no one else.

Romans 10:17 ESV So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ.

John 10:27-28 ESV My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand.

6 Praise the Lord! For he has heard my cry for mercy.

He helps me, and my heart is filled with joy. I burst out in songs of thanksgiving.

Explain – David the Psalmist, praised the Lord for He had heard and responded to David’s cry for mercy.  He knew that the Lord was his strength and shield and trusted the Lord with all his heart.  God helped him, filled his heart with joy so that David burst out in songs of thanksgiving.

HEAR Journaling -  Psalms Chapter 27

Highlight – Psalms Chapter 27:1:3 New Living Translation

A psalm of David.

1 The Lord is my light and my salvation—so why should I be afraid?
The Lord is my fortress, protecting me from danger, so why should I tremble?
2 When evil people come to devour me, when my enemies and foes attack me, they will stumble and fall.3 Though a mighty army surrounds me, my heart will not be afraid. Even if I am attacked, I will remain confident.

Explain – The Author, David the Psalmist, declared that the Lord was his light and his salvation so he had no reason to be afraid.  God was his fortress protecting him from danger.  Evil people who sought to devour him would stumble and fall.  He said that he wouldn’t be afraid even if an army surrounded him.

Apply – I these perilous time in which we live today, we too need to learn from David and follow his example.  God truly protected David through many circumstances and He does the same for us now and will never fail us as long as we remain faithful and obedient to Him.

Isaiah 54:17 ESV No weapon that is fashioned against you shall succeed, and you shall refute every tongue that rises against you in judgment. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord and their vindication from me, declares the Lord.”

Deuteronomy 31:6 ESV Be strong and courageous. Do not fear or be in dread of them, for it is the Lord your God who goes with you. He will not leave you or forsake you.”

2 Samuel 22:3-4 ESV My God, my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold and my refuge, my savior; you save me from violence. I call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised, and I am saved from my enemies.

Romans 8:31 ESV What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?

Respond – Lord, thank You for my salvation and the guidance and protection that You provide.  Lord help me not to succumb to fear, but to remain steadfast in my confidence in You.  I diligently strive to follow You faithfully and obediently, always forever.  I pray for those that do not know You will find You, Lord.  Amen.

HEAR Journaling - Psalms Chapter 26

Highlight – Psalms Chapter 26:3-8 New Living Translation

A psalm of David.

3 For I am always aware of your unfailing love, and I have lived according to your truth.
4 I do not spend time with liars or go along with hypocrites.
5 I hate the gatherings of those who do evil, and I refuse to join in with the wicked.
6 I wash my hands to declare my innocence. I come to your altar, O Lord,
7 singing a song of thanksgiving and telling of all your wonders.
8 I love your sanctuary, Lord, the place where your glorious presence dwells.

Explain – The Author, David, declared that he was always aware of God’s unfailing love.  He said that he lived according to God’s Truth.  He didn’t spend time with liars and hypocrites, hated gatherings of those that do evil and refused to join in.  He would come to God’s altar singing a song of thanksgiving.  He loved being in God’s sanctuary the place where God’s glorious presence dwells.

Apply – We can learn from David to seek God frequently, being continually aware of God’s unfailing love.  We too should avoid anyone that might tempt us to stray from our relationship with the Lord.  We should follow Him faithfully and obediently with the joy and peace that is only available through an honest and righteous relationship with the Lord. Since His Holy Spirit indwells us, we carry the sanctuary, His temple, with us wherever we go and should avoid desecrating our body, His temple.  Let’s make ourselves a joy filled expression of our love for Him.

2 Corinthians 5:17 ESV Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.

1 Corinthians 6:19-20 ESV Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body.

1 Corinthians 6:13 ESV “Food is meant for the stomach and the stomach for food”—and God will destroy both one and the other. The body is not meant for sexual immorality, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body.

Philippians 1:20 ESV As it is my eager expectation and hope that I will not be at all ashamed, but that with full courage now as always Christ will be honored in my body, whether by life or by death.

Romans 12:1 ESV I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship.

Respond – Lord, thank You for my salvation.  I diligently strive to follow You faithfully and obediently, always forever, making my body, mind, and spirit holy and acceptable for You with Your help.  Thank You for the joy and peace that I experience in all circumstances. I pray for those that do not know You that today is the day of their salvation.  Amen.

Explain – The Author, David the Psalmist, reminds people that the Lord is good, does what is right, and shows the proper path to those that go astray.  He leads the humble in doing right, teaching them His way.  He leads with unfailing love and faithfulness to the obedient.

Apply – We too should know that the Lord will lead us if we humble ourselves and follow Him obediently and faithfully.

1 John 1:9 ESV If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

2 Thessalonians 3:3 ESV But the Lord is faithful. He will establish you and guard you against the evil one.

Respond – Lord, thank You for Your faithfulness.  I strive to follow You faithfully, obediently, consistently, and continually, forever.  I pray for those that wander without You; may they find You today!

HEAR Journaling - Genesis 44

Highlight – Genesis 44:30-34 New Living Translation

Judah Speaks for His Brothers

30 “And now, my lord, I cannot go back to my father without the boy. Our father’s life is bound up in the boy’s life.31 If he sees that the boy is not with us, our father will die. We, your servants, will indeed be responsible for sending that grieving, white-haired man to his grave. 32 My lord, I guaranteed to my father that I would take care of the boy. I told him, ‘If I don’t bring him back to you, I will bear the blame forever.’ 33 “So please, my lord, let me stay here as a slave instead of the boy, and let the boy return with his brothers. 34 For how can I return to my father if the boy is not with me? I couldn’t bear to see the anguish this would cause my father!”

Explain – Judah spoke to the pharaoh leader not knowing it was his brother Joseph. Judah explained that the brothers were all offering themselves up as slaves to save their brother Benjamin from slavery, to guard the heart of their father Jacob.  This is quite a contrast of the very same brothers that sold Joseph into slavery with no regard for their father at all.  

Apply - Unrepented sin is a burden to carry.  There is no need to carry it as Jesus is waiting on us to confess our sin and accept His forgiveness.  We can also make restitution and ask for forgiveness where possible so that God can restore broken relationships.  How wonderful it is to live in forgiveness and peace!

Matthew 5:23-24 ESV So if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother has something against you, leave your gift there before the altar and go. First be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift.

Romans 15:5-6 ESV May the God of endurance and encouragement grant you to live in such harmony with one another, in accord with Christ Jesus, that together you may with one voice glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Matthew 18:15 ESV “If your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault, between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have gained your brother. 

1 Peter 5:10 ESV And after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you.

Acts 3:19-21 ESV

James 5:16 ESV

John 14:26 ESV 

Respond – Lord, thank You for setting me free of my past sins and making it possible to live a righteous life through You, Holy Spirit. Show me Lord if there are any reconciliations that I need to do.  Help me Lord to make restitution where possible, humbly, and successfully.  I strive to abide in You and with You, following You faithfully and obediently forever.  I pray for those that are in bondage to sin that they will yield to Your persistent draw to make them free.  Amen.

HEAR Journaling -  Psalms Chapter 24

Highlight – Psalms Chapter 24:1-2 New Living Translation

A psalm of David.

1 The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it. The world and all its people belong to him.2 For he laid the earth’s foundation on the seas and built it on the ocean depths.

Explain – The Author, David the Psalmist, said that the earth is the Lord’s and everything in it including all its people.  God laid the foundation and built it all.

Apply – The theory of evolution is a very cunning lie that has caught on in our modern society despite the overwhelming evidence that the universe is created to God.  When you seriously look at the evidence you will discover that the evidence supports the Bible, not Darwinian evolution.  I remember learning the truth in the 1990s and was so angry that I and millions of people had been lied to about the Darwinian evolution theory.  The evidence is real you can see for yourself as the world is very complex from a molecule to galaxies, yet all operate in perfect order.  Human systems apart from God operate in chaos and decay.

Genesis 1:1 ESV In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. 

Romans 1:24-25 ESV 24 Therefore God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to the dishonoring of their bodies among themselves, 25 because they exchanged the truth about God for a lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever! Amen.

Romans 1:20 ESV For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse.

1 Corinthians 8:6 ESV Yet for us there is one God, the Father, from whom are all things and for whom we exist, and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are all things and through whom we exist.

John 1:1-3 ESV In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made.

Hebrews 11:3 ESV By faith we understand that the universe was created by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things that are visible.

Ephesians 2:10 ESV For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.

Respond – Lord, thank You for this creation.  I marvel at Your designs and the beauty and wonder of nature.  I also marvel at this marvelous relationship that I experience with You. I diligently strive to follow You faithfully and obediently, always forever.  I pray for those that do not know You, Lord.  May Your Truth set each one free.  Amen.

HEAR Journaling - Psalms Chapter 23

Highlight – Psalms Chapter 23:1-6 New Living Translation

The Lord the Shepherd of His People A Psalm of David

23 The Lord is my shepherd;
I shall not [a]want.2 He makes me to lie down in [b]green pastures;
He leads me beside the [c]still waters.3 He restores my soul;
He leads me in the paths of righteousness
For His name’s sake.

4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil;
For You are with me;
Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.

5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies;
You anoint my head with oil;
My cup runs over.
6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
All the days of my life;
And I will [d]dwell in the house of the Lord
[e]Forever.

Explain – This is a very famous and popular Psalm for good reason.  There are books, teaching series, even films based on the 23rd Psalm.  For this HEAR Journal I will focus on verse 2, “He makes me to lie down in green pastures.

I have witnessed many people being forced to lie down and rest and think upon the Lord.  I myself have experienced this.  I had a severe pneumonia which hospitalized me for three weeks in 2017.  This experience forced me to stop all activity and focus on Him as I was healing. 

I got much more serious about my relationship with the Lord, and have been blessed beyond measure.

Apply – We all must come to the place that we get our thoughts off of ourselves and focus on the Lord.  When we do so we can experience Him every moment of every day.  When we do His goodness and mercy will indeed follow us the rest of our lives.

Galatians 2:20 ESV I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.

John 15:4 ESV Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me.

1 John 3:24 ESV Whoever keeps his commandments abides in God, and God in him. And by this we know that he abides in us, by the Spirit whom he has given us.

John 15:16 ESV You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit and that your fruit should abide, so that whatever you ask the Father in my name, he may give it to you.

Galatians 5:22-23 ESV But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.

John 8:31-32 ESV So Jesus said to the Jews who had believed him, “If you abide in my word, you are truly my disciples, and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”

Respond – Lord, thank You for my life in You and with You.  I strive to seek You, Lord, to abide in You and with You.  I pray for anyone that does not know You Lord.  I pray that You will draw them in today, that they will accept You as savior.  Amen.
