Our women’s class did an in-depth study of Psalm 72 for their homework, and after our group discussion, I presented a quick overview of the timeline of future events. On display was a model of the Millennial Temple that I made for my Bible study on Ezekiel (based on Ezekiel 40-48).We reviewed descriptions that the Psalms give us of Jesus as King of the Millennium, and then tried to comprehend the magnificent blessings of Jesus’ 1000 year reign!  **** This weekly women's Bible study includes lectures by me, Elizabeth Bagwell Ficken, which coordinate with the study guide "Come, Let Us Worship" which can be found on Amazon.

They remind us that the Lord God is our great and glorious King who one day will reign on the earth. While we wait for Him, and when we see Him... come, let us worship the King.

Psalm 69 allows us the privilege of looking straight into the depth  of emotion that David experienced when he suffered tremendously under the oppression of those around him. We’ve seen that emotion in previous psalms, but this one has aspects we’ve never considered.The surprise in this psalm is the raw emotion and ANGER that David expressed to the Lord – his indignation and desire to see justice carried out against his enemies. Psalm 69 is one of the 3 most intense, extreme imprecatory psalms.

I enjoyed studying Psalm 56 and seeing David’s urgent plea and great  faith in the midst of fear. It was also so comforting to learn that God  keeps our tears. He knows our sufferings and is so compassionate toward  us.  One of the most critical things that we can gather from all of the  stories of David’s life is that he knew the God of Israel. What is  presented to us in Psalms 52-60 are “days in the life of David.” In the  midst of trouble again and again, he trusted the Lord. He knew that  there was no safe place to turn to.. no place to hide… except, in the  shelter and presence and promise of God. David certainly gives us an  example of faith to follow!

It’s wonderful to read Psalm 51 at the beginning of this new year of 2021! It’s also wonderful to be reading this psalm as we watch all the current events happening around us in the world right now.  Psalm 51 gives us the perspective that we need in our individual lives to walk humbly with our God. It also shows us the need that every person on earth has: to be forgiven of sin and to be transformed by the power of God.  Read it for yourself, and if God gives you the opportunity… encourage someone to read Psalm 51.  **** This weekly women's Bible study includes lectures by me, Elizabeth Bagwell Ficken, which coordinate with the study guide "Come, Let Us Worship" which can be found on Amazon.

The New English Translation Study Bible notes call Psalm 45 a romantic poem celebrating the Davidic king’s marriage to a lovely princess. The psalmist praises the king for his military prowess and commitment to justice, urges the bride to be loyal to the king, and anticipates that the marriage will be blessed with royal offspring. In this episode, I will explain Jewish wedding customs and then consider the grandeur of our Bridegroom - the Messiah - Jesus Christ.
