As Jesus ascended into Heaven, the disciples needed to be challenged on what they were going to do next.
We keep wanting knowledge and power to get to what we think will make ourselves secure. God calls us instead to see how He makes us secure.
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?
God had just routed the mightiest army of the ancient world on Hezekiah’s behalf, then healed him from a terminal illness—and somehow, facing the next threat, Hezekiah forgot both and went looking for an ally he could hold onto. Isaiah 39 traces how that forgetfulness works in a believing heart, and why it’s the sneakiest danger of all.
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.

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.
