How do we regard the sin in our lives? In Psalm 51, David gives us a pattern of true confession and restoration.

God gives prosperity and adversity to sanctify us. His love is actively involved in our lives to make us who we should be - like Christ.

The motivation of our lives as Christians should be something greater than what the world has. When David was troubled by the evil in the world, he looked to God's love for him.

Praise is a reality for the saints. God declares His people righteous through their faith in Him - and our natural response should be thankfulness and worship.

The joy of being forgiven is such a great gift. It is open to anyone who truly repents.

Our response to the awesomeness of God is worship. Worship in its essence is a response to God's self-revelation with the right heart and actions.

God deserves all glory. Responding to the reality of Yahweh rightly means we desire Him to be in the spotlight.

The more we love and submit to Christ, often the more opposition we face. Are we living the sojourner life like David?

Psalm 24 is the last of a trilogy of psalms about the cross, the crook, and the crown. They look back to the Ark being brought into Jerusalem, and also forwards to the ascension of Jesus Christ.

God commands His people to sing, and we praise Him for His work. Christ is saviour, king, and judge - may we remember Him for who He is this Christmas.

God is holy and man is not; we desire the Lord's return that justice may be done at last. Like David, we affirm our loyalty to God when we cry out to Him.

The Bible doesn't shy away from the dark experiences of life. While great men of faith like the psalmist have suffered depression, God remains the saints' comfort and joy.

Because of our fellowship with God, our lives have purpose. Psalm 139 demonstrates that our God is in control; and as we grow to know Him, so does our praise.

David wants his readers to live a life of purpose. While the pursuit of happiness leaves one empty, a life of devotion to the Lord is eternally fulfilling.

In times of trouble, David reminded himself of who God is. By seeing God's providence in his past, he had certainty that God would provide for his future. We can do the same!

Through the hardship and trials David experienced, God was teaching him the wisdom he needed to be king. In Psalm 34, we see David's resolve to praise and trust God in all circumstances because of His goodness.

Christians are sojourners and pilgrims in a land that doesn't belong to us. While we journey to where our citizenship is, we can trust God's care for our lives.

Earthly joys come from earthly pleasures, and happiness comes and goes. But the joy of the Spirit is a lasting peace that comes from trusting in Christ.

True worship is not about a place, but a person - the Lord Jesus Christ. And for us to have close fellowship with Him, we need to walk in sanctification.

How do we as Christians respond to a world that is full of uncertainty and fear? Psalm 91 is the promise that God will protect His children from every danger unless He has wisely and lovingly designed to bring it into their lives.
