A Week in the Psalms

By Editor

A whole week in the storehouse of the songs of the Lord, or as Spurgeon calls the Psalms, "the treasury of David." Our comments will be few. Psalm 45 is a prophecy of Christ and His church. Psalm 50 is a prophecy of Christ's coming and conditions preceding it. The next psalm is a good one for the sinner to learn on his knees — to learn its truth by experience. What a note of triumph rings through Psalm 68! The following psalm — 69 — is prophetic of Christ's experience when upon Him for our sakes rested the sins of the world. Psalm 72 is prophetic of the everlasting kingdom of "great David's greater Son" upon this earth renewed.

Read the lesson in the morning. Rise early enough to do it without interfering with absolute time engagements. Many things will press in; shut them all out and retire with God for a few minutes. Read for personal good. Take home the reproofs to your own heart. Humble yourself with the psalmist. Let your faith reach out with his to grasp God's promises. Make the Word yours. Let the Spirit translate it into your life.
