Summary

David had been Israel's greatest king. And yet, in Psalm 72, David speaks of a king far greater than him. In today's episode, Patrick shares how Psalm 72 foreshadows the reign of Jesus, the King who has come to establish his justice and peace. Read the Bible with us in 2024!

0:00.0	Welcome to 10 minute Bible Talks.
0:05.0	Where we connect the Bible to your life.
0:09.0	In the time it takes to get to work.
0:10.0	I'm Patrick Miller. Today we're looking at Psalm 72. It closes the second
0:17.7	book of Psalms. You might not realize this, but the book of Psalms actually
0:20.6	composed of four separate books and we've been going through the second one
0:24.0	for some time now and so after this week we'll actually step away from the Psalms and go to
0:28.7	the book of Job and do some other books beside that and we'll eventually come back and do

1:06.0	But it's not just that. David was a sinner. He, in a sense, betrayed himself when he gave him to sin with Basheba.
1:13.0	We learned about that in Psalm 51.
1:16.0	David was a complicated guy, like you and me.
1:19.1	He hurt, just like you and me hurt.
1:20.8	He felt anger and joy just like you and me and so as much as we might like to think
1:25.1	of him as the ideal king he's not a true ideal. He pointed toward the ideal but he
