Welcome to a year in the Bible with Daily Grace. The Bible tells one big story of

redemption and we want to spend five minutes every day journeying through the

Bible from start to finish, and exploring how all of it

points to Jesus. Hey everyone, welcome back to a year in the Bible with daily grace.

My name is Alexa and today we continue our city of the Book of Psalms by looking at

Psalms 136 through 140. In Psalm 36, the Psalmists repeatedly

declares how God's faithful love endures forever. The Psalmists praises God's faithfulness

by speaking to the character of God, God's hand in creation,

into specific redemptive acts of God throughout Israel's history.

With every statement of what God has done, the Psalms proclaims the internality of God's

faithful love. The Psalms move from joy to lament as

Psalm 37 speaks to the impact of exile upon Israel. The Psalm is lemons over their Babylonian

captivity and how Israel is no longer in Jerusalem.

In response to their enemies attack on Jerusalem, the Psalms desires justice and for their enemies

to receive punishment for what they have done.

We move back to a more joyous tone as David pens a

Psalm of Thankfulness and Psalm 138. David responds with gratitude and worship for God's promises,

most likely God's promised covenant of a Messiah and Eternal Kingdom.

David praises God for his faithfulness and relies on his faithfulness,

knowing that even if David walks through danger or persecution, God will save and protect him.

Psalm 139 beautifully captures our intimacy with God.

David writes how God knows everything about Him, his thoughts, words, and actions.
