Psalm 23 is known in the culture as the psalm of comfort in times of tragedy. Why? Because God is presented as the shepherd of our soul - guiding, leading, feeding, protecting, and caring for us. No matter how deep the valley or how dark the shadow, we have confidence that death and sin don't have the final say. The good shepherd gave his life so that by grace alone, we can dwell with God forever.

David frequently found himself in situations where only God could deliver him. He learned how to be humble before God, call out to him, and rejoice in the Lord's deliverance. Like David, we also face our own challenging circumstances, but none greater than the sinful condition into which we were born. Have you humbly called out to God for deliverance from your greatest affliction of all?

The Laments are the biggest genre of the Psalms. They are honest in showing pain, grief, and hardship. Yet, they do it with hope and awareness that God is still there, even when it seems He is not. The authors refuse to stop trusting and God and show us that no matter what our hardship is, the relief we all need can be found in only Him.

Psalm 1 is all about wisdom - not just making smart decisions in the here and now, but making godly decisions that will matter in eternity. Wisdom starts with the fear of the Lord, but it is completed in Jesus. The cross doesn't appear wise by worldly standards, but God determined, in his own wisdom, that by it we should be saved.

Mark set out to tell the story of Jesus, the Son of God, and this week the story hastened to an abrupt conclusion. We followed Jesus from Gethsemane to the cross, and then in and out of the tomb. His story intersected with several other characters' this week, none of whom could grasp the significance of what was happening. But thanks to Mark, we CAN understand - Jesus was dying for our sins, and his story continues in us. Have you decided to participate in the ongoing story of Jesus?
