Not to Us, O Lord – Psalm 115 | Walking Through the PsalmsShow Summary:In Psalm 115, we are reminded that all glory belongs to the Lord, not to us. This episode explores the deep contrast between the living God and the dead idols of human making. Dave Jenkins walks verse-by-verse through this powerful psalm, calling listeners to trust, humility, and worship rooted in the gospel. Christ is the ultimate fulfillment—through Him we behold God's glory and receive His blessing.🎧 Listen to the Audio📺 Watch the Video🔍 Key ThemesSoli Deo Gloria – All glory to God aloneThe Folly of Idolatry – Man-made gods are powerlessTrust in the LORD – A triple call to trust in God's helpChrist in the Psalms – Jesus fully reveals the living God🛠️ ApplicationGod: He is alive, sovereign, and worthy of all glory.Ourselves: What idols—whether visible or hidden—tempt us to trust in something less than God?Others: Are we pointing people to the true God who sees, hears, and acts?Christ: In Jesus, we behold God’s glory and receive His blessing.🙏 Personal ReflectionThis week, ask God to reveal any area of your life where you are trusting in created things rather than the Creator. Pray for a heart that glorifies Him alone.📜 Historical Quotes“To God belong all the glory, and to ourselves the shame.” — C.H.
