Asaph knows where real substance, security and reality lies

Asaph's psalm expresses this idea in extremes.

Asaph's help comes, again, from the meditation and recitation of God's works.

Going into the sanctuary of God gave Asaph the opportunity for serious contemplation and reflection.

Kings in all nations and all times have tried and failed to stand straight before the rule of this psalm.

This work of remembrance and sharing strengthens our weakened hearts.

When facing troubles, this short psalm is a quick helpful prayer.

When we follow in the footsteps of our Lord we will suffer hardships at the hand of the enemy.

The enemy is trampled and the children of God are saved.

This psalm gives great hope that anyone may come to God and join in his covenant relationship.

God's covenant, or words of promise and connection, is taught in this psalm.

Take the time to let God's world bless you, and in thankfulness bless the Lord your God

The justice of God defeating the enemy is the cry and message of this psalm

Those who fail in faith and praise fall into the earth; those who cling to the Lord in faith rise up in fellowship.

When we are helpless, why not repeat the very words given by the reliable one himself?

The reading of God's word is powerful in its working

This psalm seems to speak to how hard it can be to read our environment.

In the end, David invites the dogs back, for he knows they'll starve.

If your heart is crushed by an enemy, use God's word in prayer

Sure, what you see ahead is scary, but what do you see above?
