Psalm 83 (23 Mar)

Yes there was no nation called Israel for a loooong period in history because of destruction.

And also yes, just as God has said repeatedly in the Bible that He will gather His people back to His holy land, a new nation of Israel was formed in 1947. To date, God has drawn huge numbers of Jews from many nations back to Israel since then, to take root in the land.

Studying Psalm 73 (13 Mar)

Psalm 73 (THE MESSAGE VERSION)
An Asaph Psalm

1-5 No doubt about it! God is good— good to good people, good to the good-hearted.
But I nearly missed it,
missed seeing his goodness.
I was looking the other way,
looking up to the people
At the top,
envying the wicked who have it made,
Who have nothing to worry about,
not a care in the whole wide world.

6-10 Pretentious with arrogance,
they wear the latest fashions in violence,
Pampered and overfed,
decked out in silk bows of silliness.
They jeer, using words to kill;
they bully their way with words.
They're full of hot air,
loudmouths disturbing the peace.
People actually listen to them—can you believe it?
Like thirsty puppies, they lap up their words.

11-14 What's going on here? Is God out to lunch?
Nobody's tending the store.
The wicked get by with everything;
they have it made, piling up riches.
I've been stupid to play by the rules;
what has it gotten me?
A long run of bad luck, that's what—
a slap in the face every time I walk out the door.

15-20 If I'd have given in and talked like this,
I would have betrayed your dear children.
Still, when I tried to figure it out,
all I got was a splitting headache . . .
Until I entered the sanctuary of God.
Then I saw the whole picture:
The slippery road you've put them on,
with a final crash in a ditch of delusions.
In the blink of an eye, disaster!
A blind curve in the dark, and—nightmare!
We wake up and rub our eyes....Nothing.
There's nothing to them. And there never was.

21-24 When I was beleaguered and bitter,
totally consumed by envy,
I was totally ignorant, a dumb ox
in your very presence.
I'm still in your presence,
but you've taken my hand.
You wisely and tenderly lead me,
and then you bless me.

25-28 You're all I want in heaven!
You're all I want on earth!
When my skin sags and my bones get brittle,
God is rock-firm and faithful.
Look! Those who left you are falling apart!
Deserters, they'll never be heard from again.
But I'm in the very presence of God—
oh, how refreshing it is!
I've made Lord God my home.
God, I'm telling the world what you do!




Study of the verses

V1- Psalmist acknowledgement of the goodness of God to Israel
V2-12- Psalmist’s doubts overwhelmed him to the point of almost losing faith as he saw the prosperity of the wicked
V13-16- psalmist’s perplexity over the value of his salvation
V17- the turn of events when he ENTERS into the sanctuary of GOD
V18-20- Psalmist saw the destiny of the wicked; beyond the present prosperity
V21-26- Psalmist’s confession of his perspective dulled by his ignorance; his -conviction of the Lord’s presence with him; being his strength and portion forever
V27-28- Psalmist conclusion of those who are far and unfaithful will be destroyed; but those who are near God will find joy and safety.


Leading Questions to study Psalms 73:

1)What was the spiritual condition of the psalmist?

He almost lost faith in God. (vs 2)

2)What was offensive to the mind of the psalmist?

- he was perplexed by the prosperity of the wicked that he saw against his understanding of the value of his salvation in God. (v3-12; 13-14)

3) When was the turning point for him?
(vs 17) – it was when he enters into the sanctuary of God

4)What did he learn about God?
The Lord’s goodness over His people is sure. The temporal prosperity does not outlast the eternal blessing of God. Those without God will surely perished; despite the seemingly blessings.

Who is God?
He is one who assured my destiny even in times that I cannot see the prosperity


Application: How than shall I live?
How do I find rest for my soul in times when the wicked are prosperous?
1)Envy Not; trust in His goodness

Who is Asaph?

Book III (of Psalms) – 11 out of 17 psalms in this portion are written by Asaph (Ps73-83)

Who was Asaph? (www.easyenglish.info/psalms/psalm073-taw.htm)

We can read about Asaph in two books of the *Old Testament, Chronicles and Nehemiah. From them we learn 4 things about Asaph:
· his father was Berechiah (1 Chronicles 6:39)
· he was a music leader (1 Chronicles 15:17 ... this verse also calls Heman and Ethan music leaders)
· he was a *seer (2 Chronicles 29:30) ... a *seer can "see what will happen", it is another word for "*prophet"
· he lived at the same time as King David (Nehemiah 12:46)

In 1 Chronicles 25:1 - 2 we read this:
v1 David and the leaders of the army made these people separate. They were the sons of Asaph, the sons of Heman and the sons of Jeduthun. Their job was to *prophesy. They had to make music with *harps, *lyres and *cymbals.
v2 Here is a list of the men that did this work. From the sons of Asaph (there are) Jaccur, Joseph, Nethaniah and Asarelah. Asaph told the sons of Asaph what to do. Asaph *prophesied with help from the king.

"To *prophesy" means "to tell people what God thinks and what he is going to do". They did this with music. Maybe this means that they sang what they *prophesied.

Asaph was the leader of "the sons of Asaph". They were his family. When he died the family continued to do this work. For many centuries they were "the sons of Asaph". It became the name of a music group. Ezra 3:10 tells us that they sang when they built the *temple in Jerusalem again. This was 500 years after Asaph died! Maybe the family wrote a book of psalms called "Psalms of the Sons of Asaph". We do not know. But, when the *Israelites made our Book of Psalms, they put into it some of the Psalms of Asaph. Bible students think that Asaph made a book of psalms, and some (or all?) of them are in our Book of Psalms. They are Psalm 50 (in Book 2 of "The Psalms of David") and Psalms 73-83 (here in Book 3).

The psalms from Asaph’s book do this:
· they describe the world round us in a clear way
· they tells us that God cares for people
· they make what has happened teach us things
· they tell us that God is very great
· they are good *poetry (poetry is using words in a beautiful way)

Studying Psalm 60

Step

1
Observation
What is your observation as you read Psalm 60?
God’s people rejected by God, divine abandonment
You have rejected us
You have been angry
You have shaken the land and torn it open
You have shown your people desperate time
You have given us wine that makes us stagger
Adversity has strained the covenant relationship between God and His people

What do you think could be the reason behind? Which verse tells you so?
God is angry (v3, cf Isa 51:17, 22 and Jer 25:15-29)

How then did the psalmist respond to God?
They prayed to God (v5) and were confident of victory (v4 & 12)

2
Interpretation
Background:

A national prayer for God’s help after suffering a severe blow by a foreign nation, presumably Edom (v9). The prayer leader may have been a king. God has promised to be with His people; but in his own wisdom, He seems to have abandoned them. God’s people live a meaningless existence without His presence. They take defeat seriously because divine abandonment is the most miserable condition. The experience of divine rejection brings out a renewed faith and confidence in the Lord.

What do you think is the key verse? Why?
Verse 12
Only WITH God can victory be gained. Rejection of God lands us nowhere.

What is the theme of this psalm?
In a spiritual war God’s name and honour is involved. So if the enemy should win a victory, it’s only temporary because God will intervene and vindicate His people.

How to smile through stormy situations in life?
Let prayer be the 1st strategy (v5)
Know that God is a just God and He is just in His rule. Victory is guaranteed! (v12)

3
Application

Have you ever been concentrating on obtaining victory in one area of your life only to experience defeat in another area where you thought you were safe? If so, don’t panic; you are just under a sneak attack by the enemy. God knows you are willing to do the job He’s assigned to you. Just be careful, in your zeal, you don’t let your guard down in other areas. But if you blow it, make sure you have Ps 60:12 hidden in your heart so you’ll quickly got to God in prayer. Be confident that He will act on your behalf because it’s only through Him that we win!
