Please understand this is not an exhaustive explanation of this Psalm.

Instead, it is a basic overview meant to introduce you to some of the ideas and concepts in the Psalm.

Because the Word is living, there is the very real possibility it might speak to you in ways it didn’t speak to me.

If you see something in this Psalm I didn’t include, I invite you to let me know so we can talk about it.

Who knows? I might edit a post or even add a new one!

 

We all have something to teach and something to learn.

I’d love to learn what someone else sees, not just in this Psalm but in every verse of the Bible.

So reach out, friend.

Let’s hear what the Lord is teaching you!
