(1) Thou Art My Rock

Psalm 71:3 Be thou my strong habitation, whereunto I may continually resort: thou hast given commandment to save me; for thou art my rock and my fortress.

In psalm 71, God is described as our Rock, a safe refuge, strong, secure and dependable. In Him, we may continually rely (v3a) and find hope (v14). Even amidst the most trying persecutions in life, the psalmist teaches us to be strengthened in the LORD and to receive comfort to live in His strength (v16).

When I Survey the Wondrous Cross

He was only five feet tall, with a large head made bigger by a huge wig, and with a hooked nose and a frail and sickly body. Such was the appearance of the illustrious Dr. Isaac Watts (1674-1748). As a young man he had proposed to a lovely lady. While rejecting his proposal, she said, “I like the jewel but not the setting.” Illnesses plagued him throughout his life, and for most of his last 30 years, he was an invalid.

(1) Abide With Me

Henry F. Lyte (1793-1847) pastored a poor parish church in a coastal town in England, battled asthma and tuberculosis throughout his life. Despite physical frailty, he laboured diligently and was greatly loved by the people. He once said, “It is better to wear out than to rust out.”

His health worsened to the point that he almost had to crawl to the pulpit for his final sermon in 1847.

Weakened from the ravages of the lung diseases and facing the sorrow of his impending departure from his beloved parish to Italy, he walked by the sea with a very heavy heart.

Thoughts on Psalm 117

Psalm 117:1-2 O praise the LORD, all ye nations: praise him, all ye people. 2 For his merciful kindness is great toward us: and the truth of the LORD endureth for ever. Praise ye the LORD.

Psalm 117 is the shortest psalm, the shortest chapter and located in the mid-point of the Bible. It is a written testimony of God’s people in relation to their experience with Him. We have not seen God nor touch Him but He is real, He exists, He manifests Himself in the life of His people by His great love and by His everlasting Word. This short psalm gives punch to the message – an invitation to a lifetime of blessings with the living and true God.

Christ Arose

The resurrection of Jesus is the greatest event in human history.

Christians devote the first day of the week as the Lord’s Day for worship. Today, we especially remember that pivotal day when Jesus won heaven for us by His resurrection, victorious over sin and death because Christ arose from the dead!
