Week 36

SCRIPTURAL THEMES IN THE PSALMS

Like all the Books of the Bible, the Psalms, because they come from God, contain the same unity of teaching and message.

Some of the Gospel themes to be found include:

Christ

the suffering Messiah
the Son of God
the future King
The Kingdom of God

will really be established on earth with Israel at its centre, and Jerusalem as its capital.
Death or Life

the facts of sin, pain and death are underlined; the hope of life, through God's mercy, is sure to those who seek forgiveness and trust in Him.

DAILY NOTES

SUNDAY Psalm 32	God will provide a covering for our sin (verses 1-2), if we seek him in time (verse 6). See Genesis 3:21; Galatians 3:27; Matthew 22:11.
MONDAY Psalm 37	The meek (humble) believe God and will be those who, with Christ, shall inherit the earth for ever (verses 11, 18, 22, 29, 34, 37).
TUESDAY Psalm 45	This Psalm describes the King and his bride. Jesus is the King; the bride represents his church (see Revelation 19:7).

THURSDAY Psalm 48	Zion (Jerusalem) will be the capital of the future Kingdom (verse 2, Matthew 5:35), after a time of world trouble (verses 6, 8, 9).
FRIDAY Psalm 49	Without the Gospel, man has no hope; death is the end of life. True believers will be raised from the dead.
SATURDAY Psalm 51	David was the repentant sinner of this Psalm, but it can give us hope too (verses 8-19). Repentance takes place in the heart (verses 6, 10).
