Surrounded and Secure (Psalm 125)

Keith Clemenger

In the previous two psalms, God’s people have experienced God’s defense and rescue in the midst of a dangerous journey. Now, viewing the mountains surrounding Jerusalem that provide an extraordinary defense for the city, they see a picture of God’s enduring protection. Confident in God’s love, surrounded by his protection in the midst of evil, we can choose to trust and follow him.

Unless God Builds Our Home (Psalm 127)

Keith Clemenger

Our lives are full of the labors of home-building: building houses, defending communities, raising children. And yet in all this we are prone to “anxious toil”, an acute awareness that even our best efforts are not sufficient to secure good outcomes. Unless God builds our home, we labor in vain. As Jesus put it: God who cares for each sparrow and lily will surely also guard and help us. In Him we find our deepest assurance of God’s compassionate care for his people.

God Is For Us (Psalm 124)

Keith Clemenger

God’s people were surrounded by enemies and in desperate need. Now, after many intervening dangers, they realize with joy that God has been on their side: defending, sustaining, and releasing them from death. God’s care and love is ultimately revealed to us in Jesus, who offered his own life in sacrifice to save us, and who in resurrection power showed himself sovereign over death, “the last enemy to be destroyed”.

Hoping in the Lord (Psalm 126)

Keith Clemenger

This psalm divides in two halves, each about God restoring the fortunes of his people. The first recalls a great surprise in their past that even the surrounding nations noticed. The second looks to the future during a time of hard work and weeping, asking God to restore their fortunes again. Central to the psalm is the hopeful refrain: “the Lord has done great things for us; we are glad.” Whether laughing or weeping, in recalling God’s goodness, we can hope in the Lord.

Lay It Down

Mike Jariyaphruttipong, Becca Terndrup

Inspired by Psalms 23, He leads us to green pastures and streams of water, resting with Him, laying down our burdens before Him, and being picked up by Jesus once again. This is a soft and gentle song, a personal and encouraging song.
