Category Archives: – Thru the Bible Series

We began this series on January 11, 2017 and continues to this day.

It chronicles our ongoing trek through the Bible beginning in Genesis, though our trek has not followed a 100% traditional order.

We have attempted to keep books whose contents are related in time, as much together as possible with some noteworth exceptions.

The specific chapters covered are NOT usually part of the title of each post making specific scriptures a little tricky to find by a simple “search”.

To compensate for that we have a page dedicated to this series which lists each of the scriptures we’ve covered so far as a link. It is our hope that this will help aid you in your studies….God Bless!

I was in serious trouble and He delivered me

Like many of the Psalms in Book V, these address the need to praise the Lord! They sing about God’s faithfulness to His word and covenant. How mindful He is of the poor and the barren – they are NOT invisible to Him, and He acts on their behalf. He is”merciful, fair and compassionate’.

God is unlike any other “god” in that the thoughts, concepts and even physicalk materials they are made of came from Him. He is THE Creator and Owner of this world. He is the manager of Heaven, but He has place the stewardship of the earth under mankind.

In the end the appropriate response to all of this is priase… public praise and celebration over the deliverance He gives.

Much is covered in these chapters but what stands out the most is a statement quoted no less than 8 times in the New Testament. One of those times was when Jesus posed it as a riddle to the religious leaders who opposed Him.

This quote clarifies some pivotal truths which should greatly impact our grasp of Creation, the fall, redemption and mankind’s relation to God in His Kingdom.

Jesus is ruling the kingdom of the Father until all enemies have been brought to subjection. Then Jesus will turn the kingdom over to the Father Who will reign forever!

Chapters 105 & 106 close out Book IV in the greater book of Psalms. Even though they are in a separate division within the Psalms, their content is very much instep with chapter 107 – the first chapter in the 5th and final division of the book of Psalms.

The call is worship, praise and rejoice in the Lord Who comes to our rescue time and time again – even though we are most often the cause of our distress!

This set of Psalms starts off with one of the most famous Psalms / passages in the Bible – a psalm of thanksgiving and instructions on how to approach the Lord our God.

We move on through psalms of which talk of God’s justice and loving kindness stirring desires for personal integrity in believers.

Then to trust in difficult situations with expectation of God’s intervention.

A Psalm calling for praise and a recalling of all the acts of kindness God has shown.

Finally a psalm which reveals the power of God over His creation. Also His wisdom which proves true even when “man’s wisdom” claims they know better.

Shout Psalms Book 4

SHOUT!

Posted on by

These Psalms cry out to God as Israel’s avenger and own up to Israel’s failures.

More than anything else, these Psalms SHOUT out the praises of God – extoling His virtues, His power and deliverance and how GREAT God is to and among His people!

The word “Shout” or something akin to it show up more in these chapters than any other successive chapters in all the books of Psalms. (Though Psalm 29 holds the record for any single Psalm)
