The LORD reigns as the transcendent King over all the earth and all the nations, yet He comes near to His people as He rules from the place where He has promised to dwell. The peoples are called to praise Him for His just and righteous rule. He is the holy God who intends for His holiness to bless us. Moses, Aaron, and Samuel all experienced the blessing of God’s holiness as they called upon Him, and He answered with His forgiveness. Because of the forgiveness of our King, Jesus Christ, we call upon God and know that He will answer in His holiness for our blessing.

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.
