A Road Map for Life, Series 5

God uses the Psalms to meet the deep needs of our lives. When you come to the New Testament the Psalms continue to be instrumental to the followers of Jesus Christ. In this concluding study we discover three ways Christians can continue to use the Psalms every day.

Psalm 150. In the final psalm we reach the crescendo of praise. David has led the chorus and now we all must join in the song! "Praise ye the LORD."

Psalm 149. Praise is powerful because of the glory it brings to God, the joy and victory it brings into our lives, and the testimony it brings to others. Begin to praise God and you will see God at work.

Psalm 148. Most homes are more like war zones than havens of peace. God intended that they would be a little piece of heaven on earth, but that only happens when His praise fills our family. Hallelujahs must begin at home.

Psalm 147. It is the job of God's people to represent Him well in this world - to make others know how good our God is! There is nothing more attractive than a grateful Christian and no witness more powerful than sincere praise.

Psalm 146. The final psalms are God's "Hallelujah Chorus," and this psalm shows us where the hallelujah's begin. Our praise begins with His person! He never changes.

Psalm 145. David is an aged king, reflecting on a very full life. As we listen to an old man rehearse the goodness of God it will help us to see God at work in our own lives. Pay special attention to the three dimensions of his praise.

Psalm 144. What does normal look like? Normal to God is strange to the world and normal to the world is strange to God! This study will help us to identify what God expects from His children and what we must teach our children.

Psalm 143. Every day we need divine direction. There are decisions to make and situations to navigate that only God's wisdom will suffice. Take this psalm and make it your own prayer today.

Psalm 142. Did you know that God has a complaint department? They are not to be aired on social media or rehashed in endless conversations with others - they are to be brought directly to Him. Here's how.

Psalm 141. Our world is wandering further and further from God. At times the insanity of sin around us is almost unbearable. Here are five thins you can do to stay right in a world that has gone wrong.

Psalm 140. Every warrior knows that a good fight song gives fresh courage for the battle! This psalm is a fight song for the Lord's soldiers, a reminder that our safety and victory comes from the Lord alone.

Psalm 139. God's perfect knowledge of every circumstance and tender knowledge of our needs should bring great encouragement. There may be much that you do not understand, but rest in this - God knows.

Psalm 138. Revivals are not national or congregational in their inception - they are always personal. Spiritual awakenings have to begin somewhere! WIll you allow it to begin in you?

Psalm 137. God's people have broken hearts. Sometimes we weep. Thank God we do not cry alone and the tears do not last forever! Perhaps your memories are working against you today. Just remember that God remembers you.

Psalm 136. The story of this psalm, the story of Israel, the story of the Bible, the story of our lives can be summed up one way: "For his mercy endureth forever." It is all God's mercy.

Psalm 135. There is a divine connection between a life of praise and a life of blessing. This psalm is filled with reasons to praise the Lord.

Psalm 134. We bless the Lord and the Lord blesses us. In this study we discover the way to bless God and the way to receive His blessing on our lives.

Psalm 133. The Father wants unity in His family. There is nothing more beautiful than a people who have become one in the Lord. Here is a picture of what that looks like.

Psalm 132. In a world of broken promises it is a great comfort to know that God always keeps His Word. Listen to His Word to David and Israel and you will find a God that you can trust.

Psalm 131. The goal of life is not simply to get older - it is to mature in Christ. God wants His children to grow up. An aging David shows us three characteristics of true spiritual growth.

Psalm 130. Are you on the roller coaster of life? When we are "down" it is easy to forget that God is still the same as when we were "up."  God gives us four things you can do when you are low.

Psalm 129. Life is a battle and conflict is inevitable. Even a warrior like David could grow weary with the incessant attacks of the enemy, but there is real victory found in the Lord.

Psalm 128. Did you know that there are special blessings connected to the fear of God? This psalm speaks powerfully to our lives, our families, and our nation.

Psalm 127. Without God we can do nothing and with Him all things are possible! The greatest needs in our hearts and homes are only met through Him. Only God.
