God Promises With His Name !

Backgrounder on Psalms 135-139:
These psalms about praising God.
Sometimes it’s easy to praise
the Lord simply by recalling the
past (P135-136); at other times
memories of the past produce
more pain than praise (P137).
But even times of trouble & tears
can be cause of praise (P138)
as you think about the infinite
knowledge & unceasing presence
of your omnipotent God (P139).

Lord,we receive Yr Caring Promises:
I will give thanks to Your Name for
your unfailing love & faithfulness,
because Your Promises are Backed
by all the honour of Your Name.
In the day when I cried out,
You answered me, and made me
bold with strength (Ps 138:2-3).
Though the Lord is great, He
Cares for the humble, but keeps
his distance from the proud (v6).

God Who Builds & Gives Rest

Backgrounder on Psalms 120-127:
These psalms deal with topics
dear to the heart of travellers
far from home: peace (120, 122);
provision (123, 124, 126); and
Protection (121, 125, 127). As you
read these “hymns of the highway”
imagine yourself on a journey of life

Lord, You Build & Give Rest:
Unless the Lord Builds a house,
the work of the builders is useless.
Unless the Lord protects a city,
guarding it with sentries will do
no good. It is useless for you
to work so hard from early morning
until late at night, anxiously working
for food to eat; for God Gives Rest
to His loved ones (Ps 127:1-3).
