Share a comment What do you do when words cut deep, options shrink, and your chest tightens with the sense that no one sees you? We walked through Psalms 140–143 and found a surprising permission slip: bring the tears, bring the complaints, and then plant your feet in trust. David’s life is on fire from many directions—poisoned speech, family conflict, unnamed enemies—and yet a steady theme emerges. God is not merely cleaning up problems; he is fashioning outcomes for the good of those who be...

The Wisdom Journey
Designed for Life—Now and Forever (Psalm 139:15-24)
Share a comment What if your life isn’t random, and your limits aren’t mistakes to fix but places where grace takes root? We open Psalm 139 and trace a moving arc from being fearfully and wonderfully made to inviting God to search the deepest motives of the heart. Along the way, we address a popular claim that humanity is cosmic “pollution,” contrasting it with Scripture’s picture of careful design, counted days, and a Creator whose thoughts toward us outnumber the sand. This isn’t abstract t...

The Wisdom Journey
Uniquely Crafted by and Cared for by Our Creator God (Psalms 139:1-14)
Share a comment Ever feel like you have to keep performing so people won’t see the cracks? We walk through Psalm 139 and discover why being fully known by God isn’t a threat but a relief. David’s words show us a God who searches us with perfect knowledge, surrounds us with protective care, and is present in every place we flee or fear. That shift—from hiding to honesty—opens the door to real peace. We start with the tension of impostor syndrome and move into the comfort of God’s omniscience:...

The Steadfast Love of God Will Last Forever (Psalms 135–138)
Share a comment Praise lives where memory and hope meet. We open Psalms 135–138 and trace a path from Israel’s rescue to your daily resolve, showing how gratitude grows when we remember what God has done and trust what He has promised to do. The journey moves from naming past mercies to handing God our reputation, from repeating the refrain of enduring love to facing the hard edges of justice and lament. We start with Psalm 135’s call to remember. When the heart can’t think of a single reaso...

The Wisdom Journey
Singing the Songs of Hope and Joy (Psalms 131–134)
Share a comment Feeling overwhelmed by noise, deadlines, and uncertainty? We take a slow, thoughtful walk through Psalms 131–134 and find a different pace—one where a quieted soul, a reordered life, and a hopeful future come into focus. David’s image of a weaned child sets the tone: trust matures us. It doesn’t deny pain; it grows our capacity to rest in God’s character when outcomes aren’t instant. From there, we revisit David’s holy burden in Psalm 132: bringing God’s presence to the cente...

The Wisdom Journey
Wisdom for Building House and Home (Psalm 127–130)
Share a comment Start with a simple, unsettling claim: unless the Lord builds, our best work turns hollow. From there we walk through Psalms 127–130 to explore how God reframes our ideas about home, happiness, history, and hope. We talk about why labor without God exhausts the soul, why children are a heritage even when headlines are bleak, and how awe—real, trembling awe—reorders what we call success. We look straight at the fear many feel about raising kids in a chaotic world, then reach b...

The Wisdom Journey
Responding to Suffering and Sowing with Tears (Psalms 123–126)
Share a comment When contempt gets loud and courage feels thin, the Songs of Ascent offer a map for the weary. We walk through Psalms 123–126 to face scorn without folding, steady our gaze on the One enthroned in heaven, and find the grit to keep sowing truth when tears blur our vision. The journey is honest about pain, clear about hope, and relentless about God’s faithful presence. We start with Psalm 123’s raw confession—more than enough of contempt—and learn why expectation matters: hosti...

Songs for Those Who Are Traveling Home (Psalms 120–122)
Share a comment Songs on the road have a way of pulling us forward when life pulls us apart. We walk through Psalms 120–122 and the ancient tradition of the Songs of Ascent—lyrics sung by pilgrims climbing toward Jerusalem—that still steady modern hearts surrounded by noise, deceit, and conflict. We start with a clear-eyed look at a world that prefers war to peace and lies to truth, then learn how honest lament becomes the first step of real pilgrimage. From there, we rethink the familiar li...

The Wisdom Journey
Four Ways to Treat God’s Word (Psalm 119)
Share a comment What if your love for God could be traced, line by line, through your love for his Word? We walk through Psalm 119 with four searching questions—do you love Scripture, memorize it, understand it, and apply it—and discover how a prayerful posture turns pages into pathways. From the warmth of old letters that meant more because of who wrote them, to the grit of hiding verses in your heart, to a humble plea for open eyes, this conversation connects the psalmist’s ancient song to ...

The Wisdom Journey
The Power and Protection of God’s Word (Psalm 119)
Share a comment What if God’s favorite exclamation point is repetition? We walk through Psalm 119 to show how 187 references to Scripture aren’t filler but a loving insistence: stay close to the Word that guards your steps and renews your heart. From the psalm’s acrostic design to its eight synonyms for Scripture—precepts, statutes, testimonies, and more—we unpack how the Bible does more than inform your mind. It supervises your choices, keeps your path pure, and becomes the steady voice when...

Portraits of our Redeemer (Psalms 115–118)
Share a comment Taunts sting. “Where is your God?” isn’t just an ancient insult; it’s a modern ache heard at work, online, and in our own doubts. We walk through Psalms 115–118 to find a better reply than defensiveness: worship that puts glory where it belongs and trust that rests in a living God who sees, speaks, and saves. We start with Psalm 115’s bracing honesty—idols glitter but cannot act, while the unseen Lord is our help and shield. That truth steadies courage under pressure and call...

The Wisdom Journey
Studying God’s Works and Submitting to God’s Will (Psalms 111–114)
Share a comment Awe begins where attention lives. We open Psalms 111–114 and follow a path from studying God’s works in creation to trusting his hand in history and obeying his word in the present. From electric eels to the Cavendish Laboratory, we connect scientific wonder with the psalmist’s claim: Great are the works of the Lord, studied by all who delight in them. That study does not stop at atoms and galaxies; it moves into redemption, memory, and song. We then shift to Psalm 112 to ask...

The Wisdom Journey
Lord, High Priest, and Coming King (Psalms 107–110)
Share a comment Start with a map for real-life trouble: Psalm 107 charts a path from crisis to gratitude with a pattern anyone can follow—cry out, receive comfort, confess thanks. From wanderers in deserts to sailors in storms, we see how God meets people in need and turns distress into worship. That pattern becomes a template for praying honestly and trusting deeply when life feels unstable. We then explore how Psalm 108 proves that truth doesn’t expire. By reusing lyrics from earlier psalm...

Created, Directed, and Remembered by God (Psalms 104–106)
Share a comment Start with a sky full of galaxies and a drop of pond water alive with unseen creatures, and you begin to sense the scale and precision of a world crafted by a wise Creator. We follow that thread from Psalm 104’s vision of light, winds, and angels to a tender image of a wild donkey finding water in the desert. The point is simple and life-giving: God is both vast beyond measure and near enough to meet us where we hide, offering what we need when we feel barren and alone. From ...

Convictions and Daily Encouragement (Psalm 101–103)
Share a comment What if the difference between despair and steady joy is the gap between belief and conviction? We walk through Psalms 101–103 and show how concrete “I will” commitments, honest lament, and active remembrance can reshape daily life. David’s nine vows in Psalm 101 move beyond theology on paper and into habits that hold under pressure: singing of steadfast love and justice, pondering a blameless way, walking with integrity at home, and guarding our eyes from what is worthless. T...

The Original Thanksgiving Hymn (Psalm 100)
Share a comment What if thanksgiving isn’t a mood but a choice that reshapes the soul? We dive into Psalm 100 to explore a gritty, hopeful vision of gratitude that holds firm when life is heavy. With Stephen Davey guiding the journey, we look at how Scripture calls us to make a joyful noise, serve with gladness, and enter God’s presence with singing—even when it feels anything but natural. We talk through the surprising model Jesus gives on the night before the cross, offering thanks over sy...

The Lord Reigns (Psalm 96–99)
Share a comment When the scoreboard of life looks bleak, what if the final score is already printed? We walk through Psalms 96–99 to explore a bold claim that reshapes fear, purpose, and hope: the Lord reigns. From the first call to “sing a new song” to the closing vision of a holy King in Zion, these psalms draw a straight line from salvation to sovereignty and from worship to witness. We unpack the ancient picture of runners bearing victory news and connect it to our calling to share the go...

Created and Guided by our Creator God (Psalms 93–95)
Share a comment Start with the ruins and listen for the roar of hope. We open Psalms 93–95 where a returning Levite stares at a shattered Jerusalem and chooses a bigger truth: the Lord reigns, robed in majesty, and history unfolds under His steady hand. That vision doesn’t deny pain; it gives courage to rebuild, obey, and witness when opposition feels endless. From there we ask the question that haunts long nights: does God really see and hear what we’re going through? Psalm 94 answers by ta...

Counting Down the Days (Psalms 90–92)
Share a comment Time gets real when you can hold it in your hand. We take a candid look at Psalm 90–92 and show how translating years into months can turn abstract wisdom into daily action. Moses’ prayer—teach us to number our days—becomes a practical rhythm through a simple marble-in-a-vase practice that keeps priorities honest, fuels gratitude, and nudges us toward decisions that actually align with our values and faith. From there, we press into what truly lasts. Psalm 90’s closing plea a...

Lessons on Loneliness (Psalm 88–89)
Share a comment Loneliness doesn’t always arrive with an empty room; it often walks beside crowded schedules and smiling faces. We open Psalms 88 and 89 to face that ache head-on and discover why Scripture refuses to sanitize the struggle. Heman the Ezrahite, a seasoned choir leader, sings a prayer that lives in a minor key—no quick fixes, no neat bow. He empties his heart before God, frustration included, and shows us that honest lament is an act of trust. From there, we uncover a simple pat...
