DAY 109: JOURNEY THROUGH THE BIBLE IN A YEAR

Today we journey through three psalms written by the Sons of Korah, for the director of music. They are psalms of praise, rejoicing that the Lord is always present, Lord of all!

Pray for God’s understanding of Psalms 45-47. Read Psalms 45-47. Let’s journey!

As we journey through the second book of Psalms, remember that nearly every psalm can be classified as a psalm of Lament or a psalm of praise. A lament is a cry to the Lord, asking Him to do something, most often when we are in pain, confused, or angry. A psalm of praise is a prayer of joy and celebration, thanking the Lord for His work.

Psalms 45-47: This is not just any wedding story, it tells the story of Christ as the bridegroom and the church as the bride. No matter in what predicament we may find ourselves; Christ is our refuge. There are many things in life for which the Lord deserves praise. Praise God! (Psalms 45:1-47:9)

Read chapters 45-47, and ask yourself these questions: Are these psalms of lament or praise? How do you know? What deeper understanding of David is provided through these psalms? Take a moment and offer at least one praise and one lament from your own life.
