Today, we are on psalm 37 and it covers a lot of ground. Throughout the entirety of the psalm, the wicked and the righteous are being compared to one another. The wicked are those who reject God’s will for their lives and...
Today, we continue our series through Psalms and we are on psalm 36. David starts the psalm by highlighting the nature of those who choose to reject God’s will for their life. He then, partway through the psalm, makes a...
