Psalms (120)
  1. We asked Chad Bird about what it means to wrestle with God. Later this summer, he's coming out with his book on Jacob: "Limping with God." Our discussion went from Jacob being renamed to "Israel" which means "wrestles with God" and how wrestling with God was a keyhole to the crucifixion.
  2. Only God creates clean hearts.
  3. As the sin-bearer, Jesus was also the sin-confessor in the psalms.
  4. Chad meditates on what it means to look to God and how He looks at us.
  5. When we are suffering persecutions, falsely accused and battling our own emotions, the truth of His grace is greater than anything that can attack us, including ourown thoughts.
  6. Asking God to be gracious to me, because my enemies are trampling on me.
  7. The Psalm is written in the cave, referring to the time David was hiding from Saul and his soldiers.
  8. David states a very bold accusation that God has rejected and abandoned him. The land is quaking, shaking and full of tragedy.
  9. This Psalm describes the wicked and the arrogant thoughts and scenes of wicked preying upon the poor.
  10. A call for God to hear our cries, a call for the Good Shepherd to carry His people. Going down to the pit, a prayer that God rescue him, lest he end up stuck there forever.
  11. In Psalm 3, David is fleeing from Absalom, and many are saying there is no God that will save him.
  12. Psalm 7 is a prayer that gives expression to those who have experienced persecution.
