Welcome to a year in the Bible with daily grace.

From Eden to Eternity, the Bible tells one big story of redemption.

My name is Tiffany and I want to spend a few minutes with you every day walking through the Bible chronologically.

Together, we will explore God's sovereign plan as the events of Scripture unfold and point to Jesus.

Hey, you're in the Bible family. Welcome back to our chronological journey from Eden to Eternity.

Tiffany here and today we take a look at five Psalms.

As we mentioned yesterday, the common thread between these Psalms is that many scholars believe they were written shortly after the ark was brought to Jerusalem.

Each one declares through various laments or celebrations that God alone is worthy of our worship.

He is sovereign, he is trustworthy and he satisfies our souls.

As we study each psalm, picture one of the psalmists worshipping near the tent that housed the ark.

Led by the Spirit, a psalm flowed from their lips and onto parchment.

These same words used to magnify the Lord so long ago are equally true as we proclaim them today.

Psalm 22, written by David, is written as a lament for an innocent person who is suffering.

But despite mockery and disdain, throughout the psalm, David praises the Lord for being near, for sustaining him and for satisfying his soul.

While this psalm is a comfort to those who suffer, it should remind us of the only truly innocent person to ever walk this earth.

Jesus, the Son of God, perfect in all his ways, was mocked and ridiculed.

If anyone had a reason to lament, it was him.

But the author of Hebrews tells us in Hebrews 12-2, for the joy that lay before him, he endured the cross, despising the shame.

Jesus knew the psalms, he was the word made flesh, and while on the cross in Matthew 27-46, he cried these words from Psalm 22-1.

My God, my God, why have you abandoned me?

Jesus was innocent, yet he faced God's wrath on our behalf.

Jesus was mocked, yet he pressed on despising the shame to cover us in his blood.
