Psalm 21

This prayer of thanksgiving looks back to the victory God had recently given the king. But it also looks forward to the ongoing victories that would come to God's faithful king. And it is not at all pretty for the king's enemies. In fact, this is one of those imprecatory type prayers that really bothers our modern ears. Andrew and Edwin discuss the true notion that judgment is coming. We need to choose sides. In fact, we are choosing sides, even if we try not to.

Psalm 21

We prayed for the King to receive victory (remember Psalm 20?). And he had victory. But why? Because the king was so awesome? Not at all. But because the King serves and trusts and awesome God. Why give thanks when the battle is over? Because we realize God won the battle, not us.

Psalm 21

The people prayed for their king. God responded. Now the nation does what it must. It gives thanks. "Thank You, Lord!" Andrew and Edwin examine Psalm 21 as a psalm of thanksgiving, even noting it as a follow up to the requests of Psalm 20. And what a springboard it provides for us to think about giving thanks ourselves.

Psalm 20

As Edwin and Andrew wrap up their conversations on Psalm 20, the application takes a surprising turn. This is a prayer for the king before battle, but can we pray it for each other? Andrew and Edwin believe so, explain their reasons, and apply it to our own prayers for one another.

Psalm 20

Edwin and Andrew springboard off of previous conversations and find Jesus in Psalm 20. If this is a prayer for the king, we can use it as a prayer for OUR King. They discuss how we can pray this for our own battles under King Jesus and the victories we are seeking.

Psalm 20

Edwin and Andrew discuss Psalm 20 in its original historical context. How would it have been used among the Israelites and with their king?

Psalm 20

Edwin and Andrew discuss David's use of the phrase "God of Jacob." That's not a very common name for Yahweh, thought it is found in the Psalm more than anywhere else. However, David's use of it in this psalm certainly brings to minds a really powerful point in the context of this battle prayer.

Psalm 20

Edwin and Andrew discuss the nature of Psalm 20 as a pre-battle prayer for the Israelites on behalf of their king, and by extension their army and their nation. This leads to a great discussion of our spiritual battle and the most important part of that fight.

Psalm 19

The final section of Psalm 19 not only highlights the impact the Word of the Lord should have on our words, but exposes how far short we've fallen from the Lord's Word. Edwin and Andrew discuss how the Word grows us and helps us overcome sin.

Psalm 19

An often overlooked third part of Psalm 19 takes a look at the author. The natural revelation and the inspired revelation of God both dig into the heart of the author and expose his need for God and His Word. Edwin and Andrew discuss the impact the Lord's Word should have on our words.
