The Way of the Righteous in the Muck of Life: Psalms 1-12

Psalms 1 - 12.In the opening pages of the Psalms, believers
discover foundational truth for right living-and great delight-as children of
God. Trusted theologian Dale Ralph Davis leads readers through a careful study
of Psalms 1-12 with clear application for daily life.
The Psalmist begins
with the most essential truth for mankind, Davis explains: 'Nothing is so
crucial as your belonging to the congregation of the righteous.' And it is the
Word of God that provides the direction for the believer's life. It is here,
Davis points out, that 'the righteous man gets his signals for living.' The
delight of the righteous is in the 'law'-the teachings-of the Lord. Indeed, for
those who belong to Him, meditating on God's Word is 'the pursuit of pleasure'!
And the Psalms are a treasure trove for such a pursuit.
As the first 12
Psalms continue, we see basic principles unfold with great clarity. Much like
our troubles today, the Psalmist endured wickedness all around, a world hostile
to the true God-and on a very personal level-deceit and persecution from his
enemies. Readers are pointed toward the glorious rule of the Messiah, to whom
the whole world belongs. In light of this realization, we are prepared to face
all kinds of troubles that cause despair. The righteous rely on God, and the
Psalms teach us how. This book is ideal for use by small groups, as a teaching
guide or for reference.Recommended € 10,90
