The good news of the gospel reveals how God’s grace meets us where our own efforts fall short.
King Solomon was abundantly blessed by God, but over time his heart was led astray by his hundreds of wives, and he began to follow their gods too. An idolatrous heart is like a cheating heart, and God in his anger would tear the kingdom away from Solomon. Yet out of his mercy he allowed Solomon to rule over 1 tribe, that one day a Savior king would come. God is angry with the wicked every day, but he sent his one and only Son Jesus Christ to save us from our sins and bring us into his eternal kingdom.
God loves a cheerful giver because God Himself is a cheerful giver. By his great grace, he pours out blessings to those who give so that they may be able to give, and reap a harvest of righteousness, all of it resulting in thanksgiving to God.
Sarah laughed at the thought that she would have a child at the age of ninety, but the Lord asks, "Is there anything too hard for the Lord?"
Hezekiah was one of the greatest kings to rule over Judah. There is a tunnel in Jerusalem he commissioned that still exists today. He was commended for his faith in God, and was the first of the kings of Judah to remove the notorious high places. Assyria threatened to wipe our Jerusalem, bringing 185,000 soldiers, but Hezekiah prayed for deliverance, for this praiseworthy reason: that all kingdoms of earth may know that the Lord alone is God. God our Savior is the only God, and we come to him through Christ alone.
Psalm 59:1-17
Key Verse: 59:16
But I will sing of your strength;
I will sing aloud of your steadfast love in the morning.
For you have been to me a fortress
and a refuge in the day of my distress.
