    Proverbs 4:23, 23:17-18, Psalm 73

    Wisdom For Living – “Life As A Path”
    Proverbs 3:1-6, 4:11, 26
     
    One of the consistent themes of Proverbs is that life is filled with paths, and when you choose a path, it always leads to the same destination, regardless of how smart you are or how wealthy your family is. This also tells us that getting to where God wants us to be (and where we really want to be) is a product of daily, mundane steps over months and years.

    Summer in the Psalms “How To Get Rid of Guilt…Really”
    Psalm 130
     
    One of the beautiful things about the psalms is how they teach us how to express our feelings to God. Psalm 130 is about the experience of the pit of guilt and shame, and tells us how to truly be freed from both. In contemporary culture, we flee guilt by telling ourselves we've done nothing wrong, but we can't get rid of the shame, the feeling there is something not right about us. Psalm 130 tells us how to be free from both.

    Summer in the Psalms – “Whom Do We Trust?”
    Psalm 121
     
    Psalm 121 was a psalm for pilgrims making the ascent of the mountains of Judah as they travel to Jerusalem for worship. The journey was dangerous, and along the road, the people met threats, most of which they could not see or predict. So, they felt fragile, vulnerable, unsafe.
     
    When life looks terrifying to us, we can remember that the Lord can keep us, because there’s nothing God cannot do.

    Summer in the Psalms – “The Anatomy of Integrity”
    Psalm 101
     
    Psalm 101 helps us think through what integrity truly means for a follower of Christ. Is it moral perfection? Is it merely a result of our own effort and strivings? The truth is that only by relying on the grace and love of Jesus can we lead lives of integrity.
