12/07          Psalm 22:1-5

1 My God, my God, why have you abandoned me?
    Why are you so far away when I groan for help?
2 Every day I call to you, my God, but you do not answer.
    Every night I lift my voice, but I find no relief.

3 Yet you are holy,
    enthroned on the praises of Israel.
4 Our ancestors trusted in you,
    and you rescued them.
5 They cried out to you and were saved.
    They trusted in you and were never disgraced.

FAR

At times He seems so far away,

But I’m the one who moved.

At times I feel His presence, He knows my name,

He created me and knows why I came. 

I cried out to Him and He saved me.

Praise God I am whole.

12/06          Psalm 32:1-2

1 Oh, what joy for those
    whose disobedience is forgiven,
    whose sin is put out of sight!
2 Yes, what joy for those
    whose record the Lord has cleared of guilt,[b]
    whose lives are lived in complete honesty!

BLESSED

I am blessed to be a child of God.

Jesus saved me.

The forgiveness of my sin and saving my soul,

The Love of God in Christ has made me whole. 

Jesus loves me and He has saved me. 

12/05          Matthew 27:46

46 At about three o’clock, Jesus called out with a loud voice, “Eli, Eli,^[a] lema sabachthani?” which means “My God, my God, why have you abandoned me?”
FELT

He felt our pain, our sinfulness. 

He knew what was happening.

He knew what we needed. 

He also knew we needed a way into the family of God.

He was willing to pay our price.

Dear God, help us tell the story.

Whatever it takes to help people avoid eternal separation from God.  Jesus is Lord. 

12/04          Psalm 89:1-4

1 I will sing of the Lord’s unfailing love forever!
    Young and old will hear of your faithfulness.
2 Your unfailing love will last forever.
    Your faithfulness is as enduring as the heavens.

3 The Lord said, “I have made a covenant with David, my chosen servant.
    I have sworn this oath to him:
4 ‘I will establish your descendants as kings forever;
    they will sit on your throne from now until eternity.’” 

MESSIAH

The Covenant.

Fulfilled.

Jesus is Lord. 

12/03          Psalm 126

1 When the LORD brought back his exiles to Jerusalem, it was like a dream!

2 We were filled with laughter, and we sang for joy. And the other nations said, “What amazing things the LORD has done for them.”

3 Yes, the LORD has done amazing things for us! What joy!

4 Restore our fortunes, LORD, as streams renew the desert.

5 Those who plant in tears will harvest with shouts of joy.

6 They weep as they go to plant their seed, but they sing as they return with the harvest.

AMAZING

Our Lord does amazing things for us. 

He is God.

He knew us before we were born.

There is no place we can hide from God. 

We are sojourners here on Earth.

One day soon we will be with the our Father. 

He is King of the Universe.

He loves me. 

12/02          Psalm 85:1-2

1 LORD, you poured out blessings on your land! You restored the fortunes of Israel.

2 You forgave the guilt of your people— yes, you covered all their sins. Interlude

PROVIDES

The Lord God, King of the Universe covers our sin.

We need that-only God can forgive sin.

We Need His presence.

We need Jesus.

We need the Holy Spirit to lead, guide and direct us. 

We need the power of God, the mercy of God and His loving presence. 

Praise God who gives us in Jesus Christ exactly what we need. 

12/01          Psalm 80:1-7

1 Please listen, O Shepherd of Israel, you who lead Joseph’s descendants like a flock. O God, enthroned above the cherubim, display your radiant glory

2 to Ephraim, Benjamin, and Manasseh. Show us your mighty power. Come to rescue us!

3 Turn us again to yourself, O God. Make your face shine down upon us. Only then will we be saved.

4 O LORD God of Heaven’s Armies, how long will you be angry with our prayers?

5 You have fed us with sorrow and made us drink tears by the bucketful.

6 You have made us the scorn of neighboring nations. Our enemies treat us as a joke.

7 Turn us again to yourself, O God of Heaven’s Armies. Make your face shine down upon us. Only then will we be saved.

SHINE

His presence is radiant.

Our God who resides in the third heaven.

He is with us, He encourages us.

From everlasting to everlasting, He is our God.

Salvation is from Him. 

Jesus brought salvation to us.

Praise God, King of the Universe, He saves His people from their sin.

    and have begun to reign.

THANKS

Thanks to the Lord God.

He provides to us what we need.

His throne room is open to us 24/7

His love is active and beneficial for us. 

He knows our name and is always with us. 

You are here and we are grateful. 

Your reign will never end. 

11/29          Psalms 147:7

7 Sing out your thanks to the Lord;
    sing praises to our God with a harp.

SING

I can’t sing.

But God calls me to sing so I do.

I sing in my heart and my mind.

I sing of His perfection and goodness. 

I sing out loud, God is very good to me. 

With my singing a sense of calm and peace come over me.

Some songs send chills up and down my spine.

Sing to the Lord, you will find an immediately blessing for you. 

11/28          Psalms 118:1

    His faithful love endures forever.

GOOD

GOD is good.

He knows everything and still He is good.

His every though towards us is a thought for good.

He created us to be good.

Trust in the Lord, even in hard times,

And you will discover how good God is.
