We all want to avoid destruction and tragedy. And given our own inclinations, we all move away from the very source of escape from those things.

As we wrap up our exploration of Psalm 9, we’re confronted with a question: are we living in the path of the sin storm or turning the shelter of God?

Are we really in control or just fooling ourselves?

We continue to explore Psalm 9 by returning to what God values. Are we keeping our focus and our actions on Him or veering off course?

When we read about God’s judgment, we can wonder if God is the one putting us into bad places and how it could possibly be that someone who is loving would do that. Scripture helps us see things are actually a “tad” different than that.

A special fifth anniversary Steadfast takes us to the next part of Psalm 9.

God cares for the lowly — like us — and wants us to follow Him in showing that care.

Why do the Psalms keep taking us back to God’s strength? Because we (rightly) yearn for security and he is the one who provides it.
