  5. The wicked and arrogant think they can prey upon the poor with impunity. Not so. Chad meditates on God hiding himself, it seems especially in times of trouble.

Izzi Ray sings “Why”
  6. Thankful for God’s salvation.
  7. Throughout this magnificent chapter, we have meditated on the ways of God, the benefits of walking with God, staying close to Him and learning from Him. Now as we get to the end of the chapter we see that we are all like lost sheep, and we all desperately need the salvation given to us through Christ. THe Psalm ist says "let Your hand helpme, for I have chosen Your precepts". We see the goal but only Christ has accomplished this.  The talented Markita Knight sings "Bring Me Home"

  10. For a little while, lower than the angels.
  11. Next weekend we get back on track for the last 3 episodes of Psalm 119. But for this weekend let's pause and consider the great cost of our salvation, namely the suffering Holy one, who took the sins of the whole upon Himself. The talented Kris Winrich sings "Why Have You Forsaken Me".
  12. Repent, and avoid all of this.
