Psalm 50

1 The Mighty One, God, the Lord, speaks and summons the earth from the rising of the sun to the place where it sets.
2 From Zion, perfect in beauty, God shines forth.
3 Our God comes and will not be silent; a fire devours before him, and around him a tempest rages.
4 He summons the heavens above, and the earth, that he may judge his people:
5 "Gather to me my consecrated ones, who made a covenant with me by sacrifice."
6 And the heavens proclaim his righteousness, for God himself is judge.
7 "Hear, O my people, and I will speak, O Israel, and I will testify against you: I am God, your God.
8 I do not rebuke you for your sacrifices or your burnt offerings, which are ever before me.
9 I have no need of a bull from your stall or of goats from your pens,
10 for every animal of the forest is mine, and the cattle on a thousand hills.
11 I know every bird in the mountains, and the creatures of the field are mine.
12 If I were hungry I would not tell you, for the world is mine, and all that is in it.
13 Do I eat the flesh of bulls or drink the blood of goats?
14 Sacrifice thank offerings to God, fulfill your vows to the Most High,
15 and call upon me in the day of trouble; I deliver you, and you will honor me.:
16 But to the wicked, God says: "What right have you to recite my laws or take my covenant on your lips?
17 You hate my instruction and cast my words behind you.
18 When you see a thief, you join with him; you throw in your lot with adulterers.
19 You use your mouth for evil and harness your tongue to deceit.
20 you speak continually against your brother and slander your own mother's son.
21 These things you have done and I kept silent; you thought I was altogether like you. But I will rebuke you and accuse you to your face.
22 "Consider this, you who forget God, or I will tear you to pieces, with none to rescue:
23 He who sacrifices thank offerings honors me, and he prepares the way so that I may show him the salvation of God."

What does this psalm say to you? This is a powerful psalm! This psalm displays our God's mighty power and sovereignty. He is a big God!! Everything in the heavens and earth belongs to him. He likes to use us as the Body of Christ to reach others and do His work, but he doesn't need us. He will get the job done regardless if we obey Him or not! But, we need Him more than anything!!

Psalm 43

Hey girls!! Here is the first post to our blog. It is Psalms 43:

1 "Vindicate me, O God, and plead my cause against an ungodly nation;
rescue me from deceitful and wicked men.
2 You are God my stronghold. Why have you rejected me? Why must I go about mourning, oppressed by the enemy?
3 Send forth your light and your truth, let them guide me;
let them bring me to your holy mountain, to the place where you dwell.
4 Then will I go to the altar of God, to God, my joy and my delight.
I will praise you with the harp, O God, my God.
5 Why are you downcast, O my soul? Why so disturbed within me?
Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise Him, my Savior and my God."


Wow. This psalm says a lot!! I can really relate to this psalm. To me it is telling me to praise God in all situations. Whether good or bad. We will all go through trials and tribulations in our life. But, God never changes!! He is always there and always God! We just need to let Him be God. We also need to go to Him and seek Him daily and this is how we will receive His peace and restore hope in our lives.

How does this psalm speak to you?

Love you girls,
