Psalm 78:6-7 - "That the generation to come might know them, even the children which should be born; who should arise and declare them to their children:  That they might set their hope in God, and not forget the works of God, but keep his commandments:" We have a responsibility to pass on the truths of God's Word to our children no matter how bad the world around us is. - John Mark Brothers

Psalm 74:8 - "They said in their hearts, Let us destroy them together: they have burned up all the synagogues of God in the land." The rest of this chapter reminds us that God sees what the wicked are doing, and the punishment of the wicked in the past. Our country is being described in this verse. Our job is to obey the commands of God for how we should live, and let him take care of dealing with the wicked. - Brian Boots

Psalms 119:133 - "Order my steps in thy word: and let not any iniquity have dominion over me." This is something to pray for daily, not just for ourselves, but for our children as they grow up, to follow paths of righteousness. - Phil Dann

Psalm 39:7 - "And now Lord what wait I for? My hope is in Thee." David realized how frail he was.  Until we get to a place where we see ourselves and then look up and see the Master and Creator of the universe we will struggle with understanding where our hope comes from.  We can hope in the One Who never changes and Who will never leave us nor forsake us. - Jason Brothers

Psalm 28:6 - "Blessed be the Lord because He hath heard the voice of my supplications." It is comforting to know that God hears our prayers.  He may not answer them right away and He may never grant our request but He hears our prayers.  Don't you think He knows what is best for us? Remember that He hears our prayers and may it give us comfort like it did the psalmist. - Jason Brothers

Psalm 37:4 - "Delight thyself also in the Lord; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart." I think we mistake this to mean that God will give us what we want. I think it means that if we delight to do His will and His work then He will change our desires. That is something we should look forward to, not something that we should be afraid of. Our focus should be on delighting in Him each moment of the day. - Steve Boots

Psalm 71:15-18 - “My mouth shall shew forth thy righteousness and thy salvation all the day; for I know not the numbers thereof.  I will go in the strength of the Lord GOD: I will make mention of thy righteousness, even of thine only.  O God, thou hast taught me from my youth: and hitherto have I declared thy wondrous works.  Now also when I am old and grayheaded, O God, forsake me not; until I have shewed thy strength unto this generation, and thy power to every one that is to come.”  David’s prayer request to God should also be ours.   Let’s look for opportunities each day to be a witness for Christ to a needy lost world. - Clifford Myers

Psalm 18:30 - "As for God, his way is perfect: the word of the Lord is tried: he is a buckler to all those that trust in Him." Often things just don't seem like they are going right or like they just don't fit in with the plans you have laid out for yourself. But, God knows exactly what is best for us, not just for now, but for ten years from now, too. Trust Him with today. His way is perfect. - Steve Boots

Psalm 19:10 - "More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold:  sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb." On my way home this weekend from buying some things I needed for a hobby, the song from this verse popped in my head - made me think for a few minutes if my desire to read & spend time in God's Word was greater than the worldly joys I have.  Nothing wrong with hobbies, but I want to make sure I'm more excited about spending time with my Lord. - Jason Barrett

Psalm 133:1 - "Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!" It is always a breath of fresh air coming to church, to worship and fellowship with friends who have the same spiritual goals as I do. We should take every opportunity to be with our Christian brothers. Prayer meeting, church, church functions. It is good for us spiritually. But the key word is "unity". Let's make sure that there is no hint of bitterness in our lives, toward any of our Christian family. If there is, take care of it. - Brian Boots

Psalm 119:54 - "Thy statutes have been my songs in the house of my pilgrimage."  The Word of God should come to our minds as we face certain situations today just like a word or circumstance will bring to mind the words of a song we have heard before. Allow God to call to mind His truth in your life. - John Mark Brothers

Psalms 119:105 - “Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.”  The Bible when read and applied is compared to a lamp and a light for each step and path forward in our life.  Like using a flashlight at night to ensure one doesn’t trip or stumble, GOD promises that his Word will be a lamp and light to keep one from stumbling or tripping in their Christian walk.  Proverbs 3:5-6 “Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.”  Let’s remember to not forget daily Bible reading. - Clifford Myers

Psalm 112:1-3 - "Praise ye the LORD. Blessed is the man that feareth the LORD, that delighteth greatly in his commandments. His seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the upright shall be blessed. Wealth and riches shall be in his house: and his righteousness endureth for ever." We work so hard every day to provide physically for our families, but these verses give a promise for the spiritual providing for our families. This spiritual provision is dependent on our fear of the Lord as head of the family.  How secure is your family's spiritual future? They are depending on you. - Brian Boots

Psalm 127:1a - "Except the Lord build the house  they labor in vain that build it." What are we building in our life?  As a Christian, my foundation is on the Solid Rock but the bricks and walls of selfishness and self-gratification must be replaced with His desires, will, and way for our lives.  Let's not forget that all our personal plans for life are as sinking sand if they are outside of God's construction. - Jason Brothers

Psalm 103:10-11 - "He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to our iniquities. For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them that fear him."  I am so thankful that although I have many shortcomings and am very far from perfect, God is still so good to me, and does not reward me according to my sin and what I really deserve. This is a blessing He gives only to those that fear Him. As Christians we have many disappointments in our lives, but thankfully His mercy is not one of them. - Brian Boots

Psalm 40:8 - "I delight to do thy will,  O my God: yea, thy law is within my heart." One of the best ways to ensure that we do God's will for our lives is by reading and memorizing His Word. I am challenging myself this year to memorize and dwell on more of the Bible so that I will be more likely to obey it. Will you do the same? - Jason Myers

Psalm 92:13-14 - "Those that be planted in the house of the Lord shall flourish in the courts of our God. They shall still bring forth fruit in old age; they shall be fat and flourishing;". This is my hope and prayer and hopefully that of every Christian, flourishing and bearing fruit for Christ right into old age. This is not done by accident though. Like brother John Mark preached, we must be in our Bibles and know what we believe to be able to pass it on. - Brian Boots

Psalm 84:11 - "For the Lord God is a sun and shield: the Lord will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly." What an incentive this is to just live and love a holy life. We like to blame God sometimes for the way things go in our lives, but imagine how much has been withheld because we weren't walking uprightly. This just proves that God is waiting  for us to do right so He can bless us. - Steve Boots

Psalm 3:3 - "But thou, O Lord, art a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of mine head." - How blessed we are to have a shield in God to hide from the attacks of this world. But not only do we hide there, He is also the One that lifts us up when we are down. Remember, no matter what we may face this week, we have a God to go to in trouble Who will raise us up when we are down. And He NEVER fails. - Matt Stephens

Psalm 2:8 - "Ask of me and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession." I don't think this is too much of a stretch to say that this verse could be taken as; if we would ask God in prayer for the souls of the unsaved we are working on, he will answer our prayer with their salvation being added to our account. Are we praying like we should for those lost souls that we know? -Brian Boots
