Today, I am reading and commenting on Psalms 143-150.

I have a Youtube video of me reading the Scripture passage and my comments. Please check it out and let me know your thoughts.

Psalm 143 is a plea to God for help and that really lands close to home for my right now.  I have been out of work for a few months and am desperately looking for a job.  So, I am pleading with God for Him to show me how to support myself going forward.  The psalmist begs God to answer him quickly, which is my prayer as well.  I echo the psalmist’s request to God that He make known the way he should go.  O Lord, make me know the way I should go.

The rest of the psalms in today’s passage are primarily songs of praise and thanksgiving, which part of the answer to the request to know the way I should go.  I should, and will, give thanks and praise to God.  I will even sing a new song in His praise (although not one which I composed, because I’m not a good singer).  The psalmist tells us to use whatever instruments we can master to bring praise to God.  The psalmist says that the people whose God is the Lord are blessed.  The Lord is my God so I am blessed, although I could use some financial blessing right about now.  But I am blessed, I have a wonderful wife, a comfortable home, a wonderful Church body with which I worship, and many great friends.  I will praise the Lord, and I will follow the psalmist’s instruction to commend God’s works to the next generation, and to the one after that.  I will speak the praise of the Lord. So, praise the Lord!

I use the daily Bible reading schedule from “The Bible.net” for my daily Bible reading.
