missio

So, I’ve been slack the last couple of days, I admit it. I’ve been reading it, but having been posting my notes ( been really busy ’round here…) So here you go, Harmonizers. Psalm 12, Psalm 13, and Psalm 14.

Psalm 12

• “The faithful have vanished” - this is God’s sentiments from Noah’s day until now: that the thoughts of man are all evil, all the time. Am I any different?
• How many times do we/I/you lie to someone else? How many times do we exaggerate the truth, or speak with a double heart?
• May the Lord humble us. Yet another dangerous prayer from David.
• The words of the Lord are purer than pure. Seven is a number of perfection in Hebrew. His Word is pure and perfect: whiter than white.
• Vileness is exalted in Greenville. Our city is no different than Nineveh: Great, but it needs to be called out against. There is great evil in our city in the sight of the Lord.

Psalm 14

• See my notes on Psalm 53 (link). It’s the same Psalm with minor wording differences. Don’t believe me? Look ‘em up.

Psalm 13

• First of all, Shane and Shane have written an awesome song based on this psalm. It’s awesome.
• Will the Lord forget us? No. But it may seem that way from where we’re standing.
• A lot of timesit seems as if my enemies are better than I. They have more blessing, more success, more prosperity. But I must remember: my standing with God is not dependent on my standing with man.
• God, let me trust in Your steadfast Love, the person of Jesus Christ. Let my heart sing with gladness because You have saved me, in spite of my woes. I will sing to You, because of Your grace on my life. Thank you, Jesus. Amen.
