Special Session: Immigrants - Byron Benitez

“So the LORD commanded us to observe all these statutes, to fear the LORD our God for our good always and for our survival, as it is today” (Deuteronomy 6:24).

It is clear to us that today’s world is filled with problems.  Satan, as the “ruler of this world” (John 12:31; 14:30) has succeeded in diluting the minds and corrupting the hearts.

Meanwhile, God has been active in providing answers and solutions to today’s ills. He gives us the wisdom we need in order to succeed and even prosper. Sadly, many people see the Bible as an old, antiquated, out-of-date collection of worthless nonsense. Yet to those willing to invest in a study of the Bible will soon realize the timeless wisdom it contains. The book of Psalms is appropriately classified as one of the “Wisdom Literature” books.  Indeed, such a classification fits. This year’s study of the Psalms taps into this divine and eternal wisdom. It is a study that shows how modern man can benefit from this ancient source.

What Moses told the Israelites applies. What God gives us is “for our good” and “for our survival.” Also notice the last clause “as it is today.” God gave them those commandments years ago, but the benefits of following those commandments is for “today.” The book of Psalms is a book that will help us and help us today.

Psalms that Calm a Troubled Soul (Psalms 6, 13, 23) - Dan Winkler

“So the LORD commanded us to observe all these statutes, to fear the LORD our God for our good always and for our survival, as it is today” (Deuteronomy 6:24).

It is clear to us that today’s world is filled with problems.  Satan, as the “ruler of this world” (John 12:31; 14:30) has succeeded in diluting the minds and corrupting the hearts.

Meanwhile, God has been active in providing answers and solutions to today’s ills. He gives us the wisdom we need in order to succeed and even prosper. Sadly, many people see the Bible as an old, antiquated, out-of-date collection of worthless nonsense. Yet to those willing to invest in a study of the Bible will soon realize the timeless wisdom it contains. The book of Psalms is appropriately classified as one of the “Wisdom Literature” books.  Indeed, such a classification fits. This year’s study of the Psalms taps into this divine and eternal wisdom. It is a study that shows how modern man can benefit from this ancient source.

What Moses told the Israelites applies. What God gives us is “for our good” and “for our survival.” Also notice the last clause “as it is today.” God gave them those commandments years ago, but the benefits of following those commandments is for “today.” The book of Psalms is a book that will help us and help us today.
