The second section of Psalms, known as the Exodus Psalms, remind us that the God who redeemed us is still with us.

In fact, he is promised to never leave us or forsake us.

Today we join Scott Pauli in opening God's roadmap for life.

Find your place in the Word of God in the Psalms and let's discover what God has for us

along the way.

Friday the 13th has not been an unlucky day for me. No, it was on a Friday the 13th that my bride walked down an aisle and said, I do. I'm thinking now of the wonderful day when my wife and I were

married. And if you've been married, you have in your mind some memory of that very special day how glorious and how wonderful but did you know that there is a wedding day to come that will outshine them all it is the day when the king and the king's wife come together in eternal union. I'm referring to the Lord Jesus

Christ and his church. The New Testament refers to Christ and the church as the bride and the bridegroom

and their union. But that's found in the Old Testament as well. And we've come to a psalm that is a marriage

psalm. Literally, Psalm 45, one of the

titles just above the verses in Psalm 45 calls it a Song of Loves, and not just any kind of love.

No, this is divine love, divine marriage, divine union. It's beautiful. It is reminiscent really of the entire book of

Song of Solomon that shows the union and communion of the king and the king's wife. Listen to how it

begins. Psalm 45 verse 1, my heart is indicting a good matter. I speak of the things which I have made

touching the king. My tongue is the pen of a ready writer.

We get wedding announcements in the mail and they're wonderful, they're exciting, they're

thrilling, we rejoice.

The psalmist says, I've got a wedding announcement for you that I'm so excited to share and

I'm just going to talk about it.

I'm going to tell you about the king and the king's bride and let you rejoice with me.

And that's what the rest of the Psalm is about.

It divides into two parts.
