Living with Psalms – Bible Study with Pastor Jim Rhea

 

June 7, 2009

 The German Theologian Ludwig Koehler once wrote, “The deeper one descends through the centuries into the breadth of the Old Testament, the louder the praise of God can be heard.”  The Hebrew title for the Book of Psalms is in one word:  Tehillim. It means “praises!”  How appropriate!

  We are finishing 150 weeks of Living with Psalms. If you have studied these and lived with them each week, then your life has undoubtedly been blessed!  Here’s a chance to summarize some of your favorite Psalms, in a way you may find helpful.  Read these Psalms then put this list in your Bible for the various life occasions as they arise:
 
   When you are:

Needing Calm --------------------Psalm 37
 
Afraid ------------------------------Psalm 23
 
Traveling --------------------------Psalm 121
 
Going to church ------------------Psalm 122
 
Unable to Sleep-------------------Psalm 4
