Our reading challenge for the day is Psalms 71-75. I’ll hit a few highlights. You make comments too and fill in the gaps. What strikes you as specially significant?
Psalm 71 - God’s faithfulness through our lives makes us want to proclaim him to the next generation as well. He is the Lord whose mercy and grace never changes.
Psalm 72 - We sometimes wonder when our leaders pray for themselves. Is there something self-centered when the ruler prays for prosperity? No doubt. But we would rather God bless us with prosperity than that our leaders would plunder us.
Psalm 73 - What is it that makes us stumble and fall? It is getting our eyes on those people and situations around us rather than on God. When we look to him we see our world and ourselves rightly.
Psalm 74 - Sometimes God seems far away. He doesn’t seem to be defending his glory. But we never need to worry. He is the great and mighty one who can do all his will. We don’t avenge him. He takes care of all.
Psalm 75 - God is, in fact, the one who has judged sin and death. He did it in the person and work of Jesus, God the Son, who took upon himself death, the penalty of sin, and conquered it through the resurrection. We trust in Jesus, our judge.
