Psalms for the Soul: Psalm 65: Daily Bible Study, Daily Devotional, Hearing Jesus   

Creation and redemption are intrinsically related because only the Creator can redeem His creation. In Psalm 65, we see the theme of grace which should produce a spirit of thanks in us as believers. Today we walk through the connection in a psalm that has been used as a community hymn to celebrate God’s goodness. This episode reveals the connection between creation and redemption.

Today’s Key Verse:

 When we were overwhelmed by sins, you forgave our transgressions. Psalm 65:3

Psalms for the Soul: Psalm 64: Daily Bible Study, Daily Devotional, Hearing Jesus   

Words can be weapons that do some pretty bad damage in our lives. Psalm 64 reveals the way that God gets involved in our lives and defends us. We don’t have a God that sits by, watching us get attacked. Instead, we have a God who intervenes on our behalf. This episode helps us understand how God defends us when the enemy attacks. 

Today’s Key Verse:

Let the righteous rejoice in the Lord and take refuge in him; let all the upright in heart praise him! Psalm 64:10

Psalms for the Soul: Psalm 63: Daily Bible Study, Daily Devotional, Hearing Jesus   

We are created to be in relationship with God which should produce in us a longing to be in His presence. Yet so many times, we try to satisfy that longing with the pursuit of wealth, career, social status, addiction, etc. Today we are looking at what it means to thirst after God and the way He longs to fulfill that desire in our lives. 

Today’s Key Verse:

O God, you are my God, earnestly I seek you; my soul thirsts for you. Psalm 63:1a
