Welcome to a year in the Bible with daily grace.

From even 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 friends. Welcome back.

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

As we've said with many other Psalms, we don't know for certain when these were written and what even might have prompted them.

But their subject matter is what prompts us to place them here in the chronological journey.

Each of these Psalms is either a personal or corporate limit.

And while that might seem kind of depressing, these Psalms actually remind us to set our hearts on God and his faithful character.

Though the Psalmists base hardship for various reasons, each one declares they have not been abandoned.

God is their salvation.

We will trace this theme as we work through each Psalm today.

We begin with Psalm 5.

This individual lament written by David isn't attributed to any specific event in his life.

But as we've studied over the past few days, David has faced both friend and foe, both righteous and wicked.

This Psalm compares the posture of the righteous heart and the wicked heart before the Lord.

The first three verses begin with David's petition for the Lord to listen to him.

He uses words like sighing, cry, and plead as he brings his case before God.

In verses 4-6, he praises the Lord for his justice.

God doesn't delight in wickedness. He hates evil and he abhors the violent and treacherous.

We do want to make the distinction that these are people who blatantly reject the Lord.
