(more…)This portion of the long 78th psalm describes the faithlessness of Israel (Ephraim often refers to the northern 10 tribes). God had performed so many wonders, but Israel sinned against Him time and again. May God teach us by this example to follow Him and keep the covenant.

(more…)Wisdom attends to the love of God, which in His great love brings low into eternal joys through Jesus Christ.
(more…)In this psalm we pray that God would bring us closer to Himself through His word. Our faith does not originate with us, but we need God’s leading and grace in all things.
