Psalm 83. The psalmist goes through and reviews the enemies/countries around Israel. Verse 6, some enemies were family who chose to serve other gods. Edom is from Jacob’s twin Esau and Ishmaelites is Isaac’s half brother. Verse 8, Assyria was the enemy of all of them, but sided against Israel. Verse 9 refers to the beginning of Judges (chapter 4 and 7) with Barak and Deborah and Sisera killed by a woman. Our resources will never be enough, but God’s resources are not limited. We need to be willing to give what we have and God will multiply it. God can not multiply zero if you give nothing. Zero times any number is zero. Someone gave the fish and loaves and Jesus multiplied it. Others’ resources are nothing when we have access to God as our resource. Verse 16, shows that when God humbles the pride of His enemies with shame that then they may seek the Lord.

Psalm 81. God does not just respond to our prayers, but to our worship. Is your worship a sweet smelling aroma that God wants to take a deep breath of? Asaph instructs to come joyfully before the Lord and not moping because you’re in captivity or had a bad day. Verse 8-9, he warns about the falling into the same sin that got them into captivity: worshiping foreign gods. Verse 10, he wants us to trust and hunger for the Lord like a baby bird that opens its beak to be fed. Verse 13-14 if Israel had obeyed the Lord, he would have subdued their enemies rather than give them over to them. Verse 16, the Lord feeds them wheat (bread) and honey (preserved sweetness). He wants us to remember the goodness God gave which is the source of our joy. Christians are not satisfied because they are not pursuing God.

Psalm 80:18-81:3. Verse 18, revive us or bring us back to life. Verse 19, restore us. Even if you had a bad day or week, you should still be able to worship the Lord when you remember what He has done for you. You shall never enter the Lord’s house grumpy, grieving, or fasting, but rather with singing, rejoicing, brightest countenance, clean grooming, and finest clothes. The temple had the best musicians (timbrel, harp, lute, trumpet). Perhaps on Saturday nights, we need to write a list of what the Lord has saved us from and done in our lives this week to produce joy when entering the Lord’s house. There were solemn feast days at the month’s end with a new moon (bright full moon).

Psalm 78. The narrative of Israel coming out of Egypt to wander in the wilderness. Imagine being born as a slave for 18-19 years in Egypt, then a few years crossing the Red Sea, staying at Mount Sinai, and then wandering in the wilderness for 40 years eating the same manna every day and watching your family die. We claim that we wish we lived during God’s wondrous works, but it was often in His anger that he showed His power and often the people who saw his works were not faithful. We do not need to learn something new every Sunday, but we need to review the old stories that we take for granted and disregard. New material is often false teachers/error. Christian parents teach their children the Bible stories and the children grow to despise it and then the grandchildren have never heard the Bible stories. In one generation the knowledge is lost. Teach your children who God is, what He has done, and the cost if they despise the truth.

Psalm 77. Is the Lord still with me? It shows long term consequences of sin the rest of your life. The Israelites wandered in the wilderness for 40 yrs and were captives in Babylon. It instructs to give audible (not silent) prayer and praise. Hebrews 5:6-11. God heard Jesus’ vehement cries, tears, and godly fear –yet Jesus was not saved from death. God is as personal, loving, and great God. Verses 7-9, asks, Is the Lord still with me? Verses 10-12 give the solution of remembering and mediating on what God has done for you. As I remember who God is and what He has done, I begin to see a change in me. Why does verse 15 select Jacob and Joseph specifically? Jacob and Joseph both said on their deathbed to not bury them in Egypt but rather in the Promised Land because the future promise was beyond their lifespan. When Moses and the Israelites flee pharaoh, they make sure to take Joseph’s bones with them..

Psalm 69:28. Exodus 32:32-33. On the day of judgement, God will blot out the names of those who sin and do not turn away from their rebellion. Psalm 109:14 Either your sin is blotted out or your name is blotted out of the book of the living. Everyone’s name is initially in the book of the living because Jesus paid for inherited sin until the name is blotted out later for your own sin. Revelation 3:1-6. People say they are alive, but are spiritually dead. Revelation 13:8. Revelation 20:11-15. There is no repentance at the great white throne. Revelation 21:22-27. Nothing shall enter that defiles, abdomination, lie -only those who are written in the Lamb’s Book of Life.

Psalm 68. God will arise and outpour His wrath. When the Lord gave the word, kings of armies fled. A very violent time with so much bloodshed that you can’t keep from stepping on it. Compliance is not surrender. God has to rule with an iron rod. Isaiah 43. Zechariah 14. God allows evil to build up His wrath so that even the wicked know they deserve judgement and do not repent but gnash their teeth. This psalm of judgement and death disturbs us for we are commissioned to save the wicked during this age of salvation from this destructive end.

Psalm 67 is part of the section of psalms that are odes (songs) to God after the group of Michtam (pillar) psalms of reminders of what God has done. While Psalm 66 was written about creation and Israel, Psalm 67 was written about Gentiles. Verse 2, God’s way may be known on earth with salvation among all nations. God wants to show His mercy and blessing to all. All nations are converted/come to salvation the same way. Jews have to convert to salvation the same way as Gentiles. Verse 3 and 5, all peoples praise you. Verse 4, the nations be glad and sing for joy. Verse 6 should be in the past tense rather than future tense. People are attracted to the truth. They are drawn from the lies to the truth.

Psalm 66. David declares what God has done for the Israelites in the past and then what God has been doing for him personally. God invites all men to worship Him. Verse 5: “Come and see the works of God”. Verse 6, the crossing of the Red Sea. Verse 7, Israel was a rebellious people. Verse 10, God tests us making it hard to clean the impurities in us to the point that He sees His face reflected in us. Verse 16, David tells about his sin and what God has done for his soul. Verse 18, if we cling to our sin in our life and don’t let go, then God will no hear your prayers. Psalm 78: Your children should hear your testimony and learn about church history and the cost it took to preserve the Bible.

Psalm 65. David calls all men to praise God. He begins by describing a God who hears the prayers of the needs and concerns of men. God has the right to destroy us as soon as we sin, but He offers atonement. God has chosen you to bless just as God chose David to be king and Israel to be His people. After we atone with God, we are credited with righteousness. We become a part of the awesome court of heaven. Mountains were made during great upheaval. God made mountains when breaking open the waters of the flood. God uses mountains to describe our prayer. Faith can move mountains. If we knew the power of who we are praying to, our praying would change. The oceans are another geographical wonder and God can still the waves. We can do nothing against the power of water storms, but to God it is nothing. The people are afraid of the One who can do such signs with mountains and seas. The end of the psalm changes direction from a powerful God to a God who also gives gentle provision. He is a God who brings fear and thankfulness.

Psalm 64.David wants God to be engaged in his meditation as he walks through the inscribed pillars. The extent of your prayer relationship should not be ask and receive like a customer. David is not requesting to remove or be protected from his enemy, but rather from his fear of the enemy. David wanted to preserve his life from making life choices based on fear. We fear when we realize how wicked men are. Like arrows, words can injure you from a distance. Words can incite violence. Verse 6, inward thought and heart of man are deep (dark). But God! What does God have to say? All men’s words and wicked conspiracies are like like children punching an adult. Once God shows His wrath, there is nowhere to run to or to hide. Do not live in fear. Live glad and glory in God.

Psalm 63 was written while David was on the run in the wilderness. In verse 1, David intentionally rose early in the morning to seek God out. In verse 6, David by chance was awake at night and remembered and meditated on God. We need to be intentional/purposeful to make time to meet with our God so that when we wake at night we think of God rather than trouble. We all want God near us when we have all these cares and blame God when we have troubles. Your physical body needs your spiritual body to be fed more than to be physically fed. If you have no longing to spend time with God, we would question if He is a resident in you. You should desire a holy place/sanctuary to see God. What in your value system is worth more than your life that you would die for? Will you live for the same things? God from “I need this” to “I have this”. What we do with God in the past impacts our present. In verse 11, even though it is still troubled times, David is glad/happy while hunted.

Psalm 62. We talk about great faith and not losing our faith. What is the object of your faith? Who are you submitting to and surrendering to? It should be Jesus. Jesus provides us stability and confidence. We have an evidence-based faith. We have a real man who came in the flesh and died for us. We are not using as much faith to believe what has so much evidence and facts. So our faith isn't great and is not what saves us, but rather the object of our faith, Jesus, is great and saves us. Verse 3, rather than all of you will be slain, it should tanslate as you all slay Me. Verse 4: They curse in their heart. The nature of our social media today allows people to show their is murder in their hearts because they don't like the message. They attack the messenger because they hate the message, Jesus. But murdering a few of the messengers does not shake our faith. If you are afraid for your safety, you will be quiet. But what is worth dying for to you? Verse 9, evil men have nothing after death (vapor) and their death is meaningless (lie). Verse 8, we are called to trust in God at all times. Pour out your heart and pains to God. Let Him be your refuge. Wait on God who will judge all men and bring justice in eternity. Instead of justice, some need mercy in the hopes that they will go from attacking the messenger to worshiping the Message, just as Saul who became Paul did.

Is Jesus' birthday actually in December during Christmas? Here is the explination why some believe Jesus' birthday is in September. Luke gives the timeline for Jesus' birth. Luke 1:5-27. Zacharias was of the priestly order of Abijah and it was his turn to go into the holy of holies. 1 Chronicles 24:10 lists the divisions of priest with Abijah as the eighth. The priestly rotation begins on the first of Nissan which is the first month of the Jewish sacred year which falls in March or April. Zarachias would have gone into the holy of holies on the 8th week after Nissan. Luke 1:24. Therefore Zarachias and Elizabeth conceived John the Baptist in May or June. Luke 1:26 and 36. Mary conceived Jesus 6 months after Elizabeth conceives John the Baptist which would be in November or December. Nine months of pregnancy would be August or September. Revelation 12:1-5 also describes Jesus' birth. "A women clothed in sun" is the constellation of virgo with the moon under her and above her is twelve stars which is the constellation of Leo with 3 "wandering stars" (Jupiter, Venus, Mercury). This rare celestial event with this specific combination of constellations appeared on September 11th 3 B.C.

Psalms 61.

Psalms 60. David is crying out on Israel's behalf when Saul and his sons were killed and disgraced leaving Israel disgraced and confused. Jesus' crucifixion left His disciples in confusion with their ambitions destroyed. God's annoited carries the authority of God. David's humility was intact. David does not want people to walk into his palace and bow to him, but he wanted them to bow to God. God reserved the countries of Edom, Moab, Philistra, Gilead for His people. A transition of leadership in our lives will change us from having God against us to having God for us. If your plans fail miserably while following an ungodly man or while pursuing what is not glorifing God with your life, praise God that you failed because those are pathetic dreams and you are pursuing the wrong things. You can keep butting heads with God or pursue God with your life. What is the pursuit of your life? Through God we will do valiantly. Whatever our Lord has spoken, we will pursue valiantly. From disaster to victory.

Psalms 59. David realized that he did not come into his kingship through his own wit or might, but through a tenuous road through God's work. We should not let the wickedness of men tear down the work of God. This psalm is about David on the run from Saul when his wife Michal helps David escape her father. David realized that his community the very men who he fought for are now against him. David first idenitifies his enemies by their speech. They attack at night. They make false accusations. Their words are swords. They want to justify harming an innocent man. Jesus never harmed anyone, yet they killed Him. They slandered and gnashed their teeth at Jesus. David and Jesus were not just worried about himself, but about his people. Wicked people may even be in the church, because we are all at risk of becoming like King Saul. Real victims don't complain. They sing about God's power to save them.

Psalms 58 is a look into man. It starts with their speech. Is their speech hateful and violent? The wickedness begins from birth. Men are sinners from birth. You don't teach your child to lie. God's judgement is just and the righteous will understand what an antagonist sin is to God. Every knee will bow and tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord. Some willl bow and confess too late.

Psalms 57 focused on the hx of David's deliverance by God. David was not talking of corruption as in evil works, but the preservation of God's promise. The "michtam" psalms inscribed in stone placed in public settings were a visual reminder that David was only their king because of the mercy of God. God's mercy and truth allows for one way to salvation and not a different way for each person. David can rest and lie down by trusting God. David's goal of his kingship was to bring glory to God. When we have been broken on the truth and have to choose the right or the wrong way, our life's ambition should be to bring God glory.

Pastor Kirk is teaching the biblical approach on courtship, marriage, and family.

"A Michtam" is a pilar of scripture placed in a public setting. David may have had theses psalms engraved in stones in his palace. We don't value attending church. It is so readily available to us. We choose when to go or when not to attend. We arrive late. We sleep through the sermons. What is life like when you can no longer gather for worship? They travel half the day and risk their lives to gather for church. It is that important to them. Everything will try to prevent you from doing what God calls you to do. The world, family, close friends, even "christians" groups/church will conflict. At first David had no friends and may have wondered why God anointed him with so much opposition. God provides small encouragements such has David's friend Prince Jonathan. If Bibles were rare, how precious would it become to you? Those with restricted access to Bibles, memorize pages. They become living Bibles in people who can recite it. David's life was his vow to God. You saved my life, so I owe you my life. David was a soldier trained in his armor and weapons (Bible and prayer) so that he had confidence to approach the enemy for his king (God).

Psalm 55. When we are praying, we are inviting God's attention to us. Prayer is built upon a relationship. God waits for our requestto be attentive to what is going on in our lives. Prayer is based on obedience. Just as David was betrayed by his own son/family, Jesus was betrayed by one of His twelve disciples in a personal way. When we encounter this level of wickedness and betrayal, we know it will not destroy us if we have Christ but it is still painful. It is okay to expel our pain to God loudly. We can express the pain of frustration without intending to give up since we decide to never stop serving the Lord. If we know pain is coming, we can brace ourselves to endure it. We should not abandon God to avoid pain. Christ was immovable in His pain because He trusted in the Father.

Psalm 54. The other messianic psalms point to the Messiah, but these show what Jesus went through. It's not that we should be associating with David's suffering, but rather see what Jesus endured to save us and that Jesus understands what we are going through. In David's psalms you will see many requests for God to hear his prayer, the theme for justice, and that some group of people who are undeliverable. Israel should have set God before them as Prince Jonathan did. Jonathan served his king father and even died in battle with him, but also followed God's choice for next king and said he would have served David as his right hand man. Jonathan served one king while defending the other king. Let God be the one to pour out his wrath and sort out the wrongs against you. Pull out the roots of bitterness and let God settle it. We can trust God with our past, present, and future deliverance.

Psalm 53. People will use this psalm to say men cannot do good and are always evil while others say men are good and not corrupt. Some men will make lip service to God, but how they live their life shows that God does not matter and that they think they can bypass God's wrath. The fool who says there is no God will not be moved to repentance. We spiritually rationalize our sin to make us the expection. If you convince yourself that you have no sin, you will no bend your knee in humble repentance. Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge...to seek God? If there are any who understand...who seek God? If you lack knowledge and wisdom, ask of the Lord. The salvation of Israel out of Zion is Jesus.

Psalm 52. Psalm 51 was David's response to correction of his sin with Bathsheba. If you are in sin and doing religious activities, God does not accept it. Psalm 52 is mostly negative of when David was running from Saul. King Saul did not want David to be the next king, so Saul was not really fighting David but rather was fighting God. All sin is rebellion against God. God's goodness never causes you to boast in evil. God's goodness is continual and will never bless those doing evil. Your mouth leads the direction of your life. The speech of the wicked will be boastful, untruthful, and nasty. It may seem like they have the upperhand and that their boasts will come true, but then we remember "Oh wait, God." God calls them to repentance. He gives us multiple opportunities to confess our sin. If rejected, He lets you store up your sin to destruction. Those who repent and walk in the Lord have forever in the presence of the Lord.
