When you listen to the news, sometimes it seems like the world has gone insane. It doesn’t seem to make sense. It doesn’t make sense because ther
are forces in operation outside of what we immediately see. Not only the Great I AM, the truine God, and his angels, but also those who rebelled against him (Rev 12:7-12, Isaiah 14:12) and Paul explains this clearly in Ephesians 6:11-12 where he states the real enemy is evil in three areas: evil rules and authorities of the unseen world, powers in our world, and evil spirits in heavenly places.

Every account in the Old Testament is either a prophetic foreshadowing of what was to come or an illustrative lesson applicable throughout time for those who seek after God. This is seen frequently throughout the Psalms of David. His cry to God begins with his current situation, but then will transition into the prophetic.

A clear illustration of this is Psalms 31. It begins with a cry to God for help during one of the many times David was fleeing from his enemies and
transitions to a portrayal of the suffering Messiah who stood in the middle of those who were conspiring to kill him.

Verse 22 is a prophetic utterance that is repeated by Daniel in Dan 9:24-27 that the Messiah would be cut off in midlife, and seemingly have accomplished nothing. But the chapter ends with a confident assurance that God will hear him and vindicate him as does Isaiah in Isaiah 53:10-12 NLT. The Savior is victorious!

All of creation echoes the glory and majesty of God. This is the refrain of Psalm 29. Psalms 79 and 129 declare God’s justice, righteousness, and faithfulness in his deliverance of Israel.

Life is full of choices. Every day, every moment, we choose which path we will be on. Moses told the Israelites that life and death was before them. In Psalm 28, David reflects on the consequences of those choices as does Asaph in Psalm 78.
