  1. David gives encouragement to the brokenhearted to never give up; to push . He reminds us that many are the affliction of the righteous but God delivers. God was willing to do whatever it took to buy our freedom so He paid the ultimate price through the sacrifice of his son Jesus Christ. We can avoid condemnation by accepting Christ. No one will be condemned who accepts him.
  2. We should praise God continually so that it becomes second nature to us plus God is worthy to be praised. The barrier to continual praise is not being focused. Continual praise draws us closer to god. Not limiting my praise to Sunday worship is is part of my training.
  3. The stone the builders rejected relates to the significance of the key capstone in the construction of a building. It's considered the crown of the building being the most important stone because it sets the corner Jesus is the most important feature in our spiritual life. Without him in the most prominent place of our faith journey our belief system may be weak. Verses 25-27 demonstrates the love of the people for Christ and how they worshipped him with all they had. They accepted and acknowledged thoroughly who Jesus is.
  4. The predominate emotion in Psalm 100 in thankful joy. I feel grateful. The reason for praise is because God created us and he belong exclusively to him and he loves us completely. Enter his gates with thanksgivng and his courts with praise.
  5. In Psalm 38, David exhibits a contrite and broken spirit as he again takes his case before God. He confesses to God that his sin has overwhelmed him. The psalmist refers to his sin as folly. He is bow low and mourns all day long. He is truly petitioning God for forgiveness and a place of restoration.

  7. A broken and contrite spirit are only achieved when we recognized that we have sinned against God and God alone. A contrite heart is recognized as deep sorrow and shame before God. When we recall that during our sin God was actually a witness to our transgressions. Being sorry is a head thing being contrite is a matter of the heart.A broken heart is a convicted heart and you can only plead guilty as charged. In fact, you are embararrased that you even put God in a position to have to watch you sin especially where His enemies can see. Because a heart hardened by sin will not relent and admit to sin but an humble spirit will be ready to bow down to a God who is ready to forgive us and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

  9. We can have a pure heart after great sin by inserting truth into the situation and going to God in prayer with a repentant and contrite spirit. God offers us that opportunity. A pure heart is one that has recognize sin and desires to repair what is broken through a right relationship with God. When we have a pure heart we have the character of Christ (we are of the same mind and spirit as him) we entreat God to help get us to a place of desperately seeking him asking for a clean heart. God purifies the heart but we have to do our part. We admit our wrong; pray; seek God's face; turn from our wicked ways; then God will hear our prayers and we are working on a pure heart.

  11. No, he is not minimizing his sin. David has realized that all sin separates us from the Creator the one we claim to love. He is fully aware that God has seen and knows all and God has witnessed his sins. David is not making a excuse for sinning but acknowledging that man is born with a sinful nature. We are prone to sin.
  12. Self deceit works with sin to keep an individual blinded to the extent and nature of his/her sin. Self deceit allows for one to justify sin or just pretend that the act is really not sin, Confession moves one out of the shadow and bondage of sin. Confession expresses truth and the trust helps to make us free. Sin involves keeping secrets which is bondage and pretense. Very few people want to look at themselves in the mirror. Scripture says that once a man turns from the mirror they soon forget what they say. It's hard to admit that we have sinful ways. Sometimes we don't admit the truth until God executes a consequence. Then we must assess our sinful ways.
  13. The similarities of the words of the Psalm and Christ's cruicifixion are almost identical so that they fulfill prophecy. Yes, I'm Jsure esus knew that Psalm 22 was referring to him. David penned this psalm in order to show fulfillment of prophecy.
  14. Jesus spoke the words of Psalm 2:1 to fulfill prophecy and to express his humanity. He was both man and divine. As Christ he had to bear our sins and die this torturous, painful death. As a man, he was feeling alone. God answered his plea by allowing his original plan of sacrificing his Son to be carried out so that we might be saved and have a place in eternity with him.
  15. Jesus was pointing to the divinity of Christ. I was trying to correct error and insert truth in their thinking. David who they loved much as their earthly king esteemed Christ as Lord and called him such. David recognized the divinity of Christ. Jesus will fight our battles as our Warrior-King and he is available to intercede on our behalf as our priest. God has offered us all and opportunity to accept Jesus. No one comes to the Father except but by the Son. Those who choose to live outside of God's will, through Christ, will face dire consequences.
