Truest Justice Joy (Psalm 97). The earth should rejoice that a holy and righteous ruler reigns. The Lord burns up sin and melts it away. You cannot love the Lord and also embrace the wickedness that rebels against God’s righteousness. The Lord delivers us from our own wickedness!

Endow The Royal Son (Psalm 72). While a prayer of David for Solomon, ultimately the endowments will only apply to the Messiah. How does the righteous one judge the ungodly with righteousness? How does living with this messiah prosper his people?

East West Treatment (Psalm 103). Consider the abundance of God’s work forgiving, healing, redeeming, crowning and blessing you. God knows you are a dust mite and has compassion on us. Do we remember who we are?

Almighty Covenant Fortress (Psalm 46). The LORD is your inner strength and outer fortress. Even though the earth fall down, we will not fear. Our God is actively destroying the weapons of our enemy. Is the Lord of hosts your refuge?

Thunder Word Blessing (Psalm 29). If angels are called to give honor to the LORD, are you called to ascribe glory to God? Glory is His anyway. The Voice of the Lord breaks the elites, shakes the wilderness and strikes as lightening. Do you call upon same power the LORD to strengthen you?

Wicked Confusing Confounder (Psalm 55). We feel ignored and abandoned in our anguish and terror. Our thoughts terrorize us. But our unchanging LORD will not let you be shaken.

Transgression Whitener (Psalm 51). The LORD’s love and mercy do not fail. Instead God can take our crushed, guilt laden lives to make us new, bringing us into His presence and instilling God’s Spirit in us.

Profitable Productive Baptism (Titus 3:8-15). The Church is to stress the truth of our salvation in the ears of believers. We warn those who continue to define themselves by corruption and sin. As baptized people we are called to excel in doing good.

We Become Heirs (Titus 3:1-8). The task of the Church is to remind Christians how to be Christians in a broken world. We once lived broken lives, but now we are saved through Christ! By the washing of rebirth God makes us heirs of eternal life. Do you live in the riches of God’s grace?

Freeing Glory Manifested (Titus 2:11-15) Sound teaching and sound living in God’s unmerited grace flowing out of Christ and his cross. You have been freed from the dead, ungodly rebellion of false doctrine.
