Psalm: 94 Meditation Hebrews: These verses can be compared and contrasted with David’s Psalm 8. In that psalm, David reveals that God had made man a little lower than the angels … In Hebrews chapter 1 the writer tells us that Jesus is begotten by God (i.e., His eternal Son) and next we see that …

Psalm: 119:1-24 Christmas Eve Meditation Luke: The difficulty of probing a familiar passage of Scripture such as this is the temptation not to try to find something new. This is my effort. Zechariah was a priest and as such he was a Levite. John the baptizer is but 8 days old; Zechariah, though not recognized …

Psalm: 41 Meditation Luke: Today we will glimpse at 4 scenes. First, David’s audacious proclamation: “The LORD said to my Lord.” (Ps. 110:1) The first LORD = YAHWEH (God Himself – thank you KJV) and the second Lord = master just as the disciples often addressed Jesus. I think Jesus, by His question, affirms David’s …

Psalms: 104 Meditation 2 Samuel: As the opening indicates, these are the last words of David. How fitting that he would have a song (poetry) on his lips as he lay dying. I could only hope to have such calm of spirit and such praise in my heart as I am about to breathe my …

Psalms: 119:145-176 Meditation 2 Samuel: The revolt against David was put down but at great cost. David had given a strict command that Absalom was not to be killed – he said this in the hearing of the army. However, Joab, perhaps thinking David might spare Absalom, took it upon himself to kill the traitor …

Psalms: 41 Meditation 2 Samuel: I think Shakespeare pilfered a thought which he employs in Macbeth Act IV scene I. When the LORD encourages David against the Philistines the strategy includes listening to “the sound of marching in the tops of the balsam trees, move quickly, because that will mean the LORD has gone out …

Psalm: 52, 54 Meditation 1 Samuel: These verses show yet King Saul’s maniacal obsession in tracking down David in order to secure his own place in history. David’s response is the same as the first time Saul made an attempt on his life. Here David’s men urge him to slay his enemy Saul, but David …

Psalms: 143 Meditation 1 Samuel: David is pursuing his favorite pastime: being on the run from King Saul. David goes to the priest Ahimelech to fortify himself against Saul. David has said repeatedly that he would not kill King Saul as he was the LORD’s anointed (as was David himself). David plays a little fast …

Psalm: 69 Meditation 1 Samuel: Jonathan, King Saul’s son, and David were fast friends. Jonathan was aware of two rather important facts: 1) Jonathan’s father, Saul, wanted Jonathan to succeed him as king and 2) that David had already been anointed by Samuel as the next king. Saul suffered from bouts of madness, which today, …

Psalm: 102 Meditation Ezekiel: When we read this passage, we may (actually do not) see what Ezekiel saw. We look back through the cross. If Ezekiel looked back (as I am sure he did) he saw the shepherd/king (David). Ezekiel wants to awaken the errant “shepherds” warning them of a time of accountability. Sometime later, …
