Tehillim (Psalms) 149:1

A hero of mine once told me that God doesn’t need a lawyer, your job is to be honest. What if we could be truly honest with each other? If we’re going to explore the Psalms, let's go for it. Let’s be real, drop the act and tell the truth. This isn’t just a job for songwriters like David. This is a job for everyone. We all have a unique song to sing.

Throughout God’s Word, we find the passport to His presence is our thanksgiving and worship. Yet the busyness of our over-scheduled lives can nudge us out of that sweet spot of unbridled thanks and adoration that aligns our hearts and minds toward Him. Now, let’s choose instead to lift our gaze towards the One Who loves us beyond reason and enter His courts with praise. Are you ready?

For centuries, the Psalms formed the basis of Jewish and Christian worship. They tell the story of God’s activity in creation and the hope we have in God’s promises. This Bible Plan gathers Prof. N.T. Wright’s insights on key psalms, which give shape to the Psalter and serve as key resources of prayer.

With so many responsibilities and distractions vying for our attention, we often end up in unhealthy cycles of rest. We strive and strain against God’s intent for our lives and burn ourselves out.
