Coming off the forgiveness of Psalm 32, Psalm 33 continues in joyous praise to the LORD for His upright Word by which He declares sinners righteous. By that Word, the LORD does His work of righteousness, justice, and steadfast love in all the earth. By that Word, the LORD created all things, so that all things should fear Him. For those nations who do not, the LORD brings their plans to frustration, for the strength of a nation, army, and war horse is ultimately a lie. Instead, the LORD chooses His people by His grace, and as His people wait on Him in hope, He does not disappoint their faith.

Join Sharper Iron this summer to study selected Psalms. In the Psalter, God speaks His Word to us and teaches us how to speak back to Him in prayer. Even in the great variety of the Psalms, each one points us to our Savior, Jesus Christ.

Sharper Iron, hosted by Rev. Timothy Appel, looks at the text of Holy Scripture both in its broad context and its narrow detail, all for the sake of proclaiming Christ crucified and risen for sinners. Two pastors engage with God's Word to sharpen not only their own faith and knowledge, but the faith and knowledge of all who listen. Submit comments or questions to: [email protected]
