The Mystery of Time
December 11, 2025
The Mystery of Time: Psalm 90
“1) Lord, You have been our dwelling place in all generations. 2) Before the mountains were born Or You gave birth to the earth and the world, Even from everlasting to everlasting, You are God. 3) You turn man back into dust And say, “Return, O children of men.” 4) For a thousand years in Your sight Are like yesterday when it passes by, Or as a watch in the night.
12) So teach us to number our days, That we may present to You a heart of wisdom.” Psalms 90:1-4, 12
We often loose our perspective because we think we are in control. We live as if we are immortal. This Psalm removes that kind of toxic thinking.
It establishes that only God is from everlasting to everlasting. He inhabits eternity. His view of time is very different from ours. A thousand years in his sight is like yesterday when it passes by.
So the outcome is that every day matters. We need to invest our time well. We need to member our days so that we might gain a heart of wisdom.
Some compare time and money. They note we can spend both! Yes, but the problem is you can always get more money, you cannot get more time. Once spent, time is gone forever!

The Majesty and Faithfulness of God
December 10, 2025
The Majesty and Faithfulness of God: Psalm 89
“1) I will sing of the lovingkindness of the Lord forever; To all generations I will make known Your faithfulness with my mouth. 2) For I have said, “Lovingkindness will be built up forever; In the heavens You will establish Your faithfulness.” “3) I have made a covenant with My chosen; I have sworn to David My servant, 4) I will establish your seed forever And build up your throne to all generations.” Selah. 5) The heavens will praise Your wonders, O Lord; Your faithfulness also in the assembly of the holy ones. 6) For who in the skies is comparable to the Lord? Who among the sons of the mighty is like the Lord, 7) A God greatly feared in the council of the holy ones, And awesome above all those who are around Him?” Psalms 89:1-7
Psalm 89 contains 52 verses. It is one of the longer Psalms. It sets forth the surpassing glory and majesty of God. He is pictured as a holy and just covenant keeping God.
This Psalm makes it clear that the landmark Covenants of God with mankind are secured by His own unchangeable character and nature and not that of mankind. This is true of every Covenant made by God. He will keep them.
He is both promise maker and covenant keeper. He is the reason all things hold together and His will is ultimately fulfilled. He is the highest in heaven and on earth.
He is not threatened nor does He change. He is in control and His Word comes to pass. This Psalm is an amazing contrast between the surpassing greatness of God and the fickle nature of man.
This Psalm forces us to slow down and focus on the faithfulness of God. It replaces fear with faith and hysteria with calm. It nails the premise that heaven rules.

The Torment of Death
December 9, 2025
The Torment of Death: Psalm 88
“1) O Lord, the God of my salvation, I have cried out by day and in the night before You. 2) Let my prayer come before You; Incline Your ear to my cry! 3) For my soul has had enough troubles, And my life has drawn near to Sheol. 4) I am reckoned among those who go down to the pit; I have become like a man without strength, 5) Forsaken among the dead, Like the slain who lie in the grave, Whom You remember no more, And they are cut off from Your hand. 6) You have put me in the lowest pit, In dark places, in the depths. 7) Your wrath has rested upon me, And You have afflicted me with all Your waves. Selah.” Psalms 88:1-7
This is a troubling Psalm. The deeper you read, the worse it becomes.
At first glance, it looks like it was written by a godly man overcome by trials and sorrow. But upon closer examination, it is much more tragic. It is far more horrifying.
It was written by a dying man who believed in God, but had no personal relationship with Him. It was written by a religious man facing death with no assurance of personal salvation.
The torment is huge. His soul is being torn. Satan has him wrapped in guilt and condemnation. He is isolated and alone having been abandoned by all friends.
This is the way most people face death. Unlike David in Psalm 23, passing through valley of the shadow of death is horrifying! It is soul wrenching.
Jesus came to defeat the enemy of death. He came to die on the cross and pay for our sins. He came to make faith in His finished work the cross on our behalf and not our personal goodness or works the basis of our salvation!
Think about it, if salvation and assurance of salvation were earned by your own righteousness or good works, at what point can you have confidence that you have done enough? When can you say; “I have arrived?” Or; “God has accepted me?”
The answer is: Never! Welcome to Psalm 88 and the anguish of being religious but dying with no assurance of salvation. Welcome to the death pangs of facing a Christ-less eternity. Welcome to eternal torment.
Suddenly, the gospel comes into focus. Suddenly, Jesus being the way, the truth and life is understandable. Suddenly, being born-again through personal saving faith in Jesus Christ exposes the futility of every system of religion based on self works or personal goodness. Suddenly, Psalm 88 is replaced by Psalm 23 for those walking through the valley of the shadow of death.

Gods Favor for Zion
December 8, 2025
Gods Favor For Zion: Psalm 87
“1) His foundation is in the holy mountains. 2) The Lord loves the gates of Zion More than all the other dwelling places of Jacob. 3) Glorious things are spoken of you, O city of God. Selah. “4) I shall mention Rahab and Babylon among those who know Me; Behold, Philistia and Tyre with Ethiopia: ‘This one was born there.’ ” 5) But of Zion it shall be said, “This one and that one were born in her”; And the Most High Himself will establish her. 6) The Lord will count when He registers the peoples, “This one was born there.” Selah. 7)Then those who sing as well as those who play the flutes shall say, “All my springs of joy are in you.”” Psalms 87:1-7
Mt Zion is a hill located in Jerusalem. God highly favors Jerusalem. It was called “the City of David.” It was the place where the temple was built.
According to Zechariah 8:3, the Messiah is going to return to Zion and rule. Jesus spent a portion of His ministry in Jerusalem. Zechariah 14 paints to the return of Jesus to this region for His the Millennial Kingdom. (Revelation 20)
This Psalm and the entire Bible establishes Jerusalem as the apple of Gods eye. It is the epicenter of end time events.
Psalm 122:6-9 calls on us to pray for the peace of Jerusalem. I have not been there up to this point in my life, but the promised land has a special place on my heart. I have an earnest desire to visit the holy lands someday.

The Fingerprints of God on Your Life
December 7, 2025
The Finger Prints of God on the Lives of the Righteous: Psalm 86
“1) Incline Your ear, O Lord, and answer me; For I am afflicted and needy. 2) Preserve my soul, for I am a godly man; O You my God, save Your servant who trusts in You. 3) Be gracious to me, O Lord, For to You I cry all day long.
7) In the day of my trouble I shall call upon You, For You will answer me.”
10) “For You are great and do wondrous deeds; You alone are God.” Psalms 86:1-3, 7, 10
Psalm 86 sets forth an interesting proposition; “There are measurable and tangible benefits to knowing and walking with God!” He alone is God and He works on behalf of those who seek Him and honor Him.
The book of Proverbs often makes this same point when it draws a sharp contrast between the righteous and the wicked. (See Proverbs 10-18) The two paths in life are very different. They produce radically different character and have different life outcomes.
Hebrews 11:6 says; “And without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of those who seek Him.” Then the author goes on to note the miraculous ways God worked in history through men and women of faith throughout history.
Psalm 86 is built on this same proposition! There are measurable and tangible benefits to walking with God. Every faithful believer is an exclamation point to this proposition. He leaves His fingerprints all over the lives of those who walk with Him.
