Psalm: 147 Meditation Wisdom: The “first-formed father” is Adam. The chapter is a thinly veiled history of Israel from Adam through the trek in the wilderness – representing a great deal of time. The aim of this book is that the people of God could “own” their history – to have it to be alive …

Psalms:70, 75 Meditation John: Matthew tells us in his chapter 15 that as Jesus was going about in Tyre & Sidon that He was sent to call the lost sheep of Israel.
