Verses from Psalms

A Home in God’s Presence

Psalm 84:3 Lark Sparrow in Aronia Berry Blossoms, Washington County, Nebraska.

“Even the sparrow has found a home, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may have her young—a place near your altar, Lord Almighty, my King and my God.” Psalm 84:3 (NIV)

Living in God’s Presence

Only once a year the Jewish high priest was allowed to enter into the Holy of Holies in the Lord’s Temple. The Holy of Holies was where the Jews kept the Ark of the Covenant. God’s presence dwelled there. 

Due to human sin, no other person could enter the Holy of Holies. Only the priest could enter. But birds, like all of God’s creatures, are without sin. It is thought that this psalm tells of a bird (and perhaps more than one) that built its nest in the Holy of Holies and had a home in the presence of God. How awesome!

God’s Mighty Acts

Psalm 145:11-12 and Gunsight Lake and Mountain Majesty, Glacier National Park, Montana.The alpine glow on mountains reflect in Gunsight Lake at dawn in Glacier National Park, Montana and Psalm 145 about God's mighty works.

“They shall speak of the glory of Your kingdom and talk of Your power; To make known to the sons of men Your mighty acts and the glory of the majesty of Your kingdom.” 145:11-12

God’s Mighty Acts Today

The Bible speaks of God’s mighty acts. When we read through its pages we can read about the great things God did in the past.

The ancient Hebrew people were witnesses to these acts. But how do we experience His mighty acts today. We may not see Him part the Red Sea, bring down fire from heaven or instantly calm a stormy sea, but we can still see Him work in our life and in the lives around us.

If for some reason we don’t see His mighty works in our life nor in the lives around us, we can look at His creation. Many wonders of creation like mountains, are glorious powerful and majestic. How much more glorious, powerful and majestic is their Creator!

Read all of Psalm 145 and be blessed.
