Praying through the Psalms 31-35

Psalm 31

Truth #1: The Lord has an abundance of goodness stored up for those who fear him and he protects all who take refuge in Him (vs 19).

Truth #2: The Lord (Jesus) is my rock and my fortress.

Observation: Jesus quoted vs 5, as if He was the one speaking the original Psalm, and also showing that He is the ultimate fulfilment of this Psalm.

Psalm 32

Truth #1: The Lord forgives our sins when we confess them to Him.

Truth #2: The godly have reason to celebrate in the Lord, while the wicked only have sorrow.

Psalm 34

Truth #1: When we seek the Lord, he will answer us. This is just like what Jesus said on the sermon on the mount. If we ask, seek, knock, we will find and our Father will give to us.

Truth #2: The Lord cares for his people, the righteous ones, and cares about them. He hears our cries.

Observations: John tells us that Jesus fulfilled vs 20 when none of us bones were broken on the cross.

I read a chapter of Practice in the Presence of God and read the Chalcedonian Definition
