Psalms 144 and Lord willing will make it to Psalm 146 the last two weeks we did not make it

all the way through to the Psalms that we had hoped to so no hurry but we'll see what

happens tonight again really looking forward to what the Lord has for us you know

we are almost done with the Psalms.

I'm going to miss this book. I know the Book of Proverbs is next, really excited about the Book of Proverbs.

But so Lord willing, next Thursday will actually be our last study in the Psalms we'll probably get from

Psalm 147 to 150 and so but tonight we'll start with 144 so let's pray we'll ask God to

bless our time together in His Word if you would join with me.

Lord, thank you so much.

Lord, we're so thankful to you for these midweek Bible studies that we have where we can come to this beautiful church building that you've given to us and just open up our Bibles and open up our hearts

and hopefully open up our ears and eyes to receive that which you have for us in your Word.

Lord, we want to be teachable.

We want our hearts to be supple so that when the seed of your word meets with the heart that's supple, that there will be a germination

process, a planting, a taking root in our hearts. Lord, we know your word doesn't return

void. And Lord, we're here because we love your word doesn't return void and Lord we're here because we love your word

and we love you and we want for you to speak into our lives in and through your word

so Lord we just want to commit our time together in your word and this Bible study to you tonight in Jesus

name amen all right Psalm 144 very interesting song now we're told this is a Psalm of David

verse one he writes blessed be the my rock, who trains my hands for war.

Well, that's in the present tense, not in the past tense, who trained my hands for war.

No, who trains presently, currently, dare I say, continually for war.

Hang on to that, I want to talk a little bit more about that.
