Psalm 23 - SL

Psalm 23 - This is God - my Shepherd, my Guide, my Savior

Lyrics
I want to share this song with you brothers. It's based  on Psalm 23 (probably, seeing as it's directly in the lyrics too). The way it is worded, the way it is sung, the way the worship occurs through this song resonates with me well.
The beginning rings very true with me. The way the song begins is such a reality, and then it goes into more truth with acknowledging God as the only hope. Just, throughout the entire song, it rings so true.

I’ve been receiving great epiphanies and prophetic words these past 2 weeks. And it’s been real with Advance, the groups within it, PB’s sermons, and his prayers too. This song speaks to so much in recognizing God as my help and still my Lord, regardless of what I do - who I am - and in my depravity.

Psalm 15 - SL

Psalm 15 - Righteous Manners v.2 "He who walks blamelessly ... and speaks truth in his heart..." v.4 "in whose eyes a vile person is despised..." v.5 "...He who does these things shall never be moved." A short psalm that speaks truth into what it takes to dwell on God's Holy Hill - or as I have put it - a psalm that speaks to righteous manners. This was a short list of Does and Does Nots, and then ends with a factual saying the one who acts in these ways won't be moved from that holy place. It was both a good refresher to read and fairly hard to digest because I don't pass the standards that I want to be passing. I know I don't walk blamelessly, and as much as I can put a check-mark on many of the other aspects, I am not satisfied - and I will not be satisfied/complacent - with not realizing a full and fruitful lifestyle. It's been easier for me to be okay with certain actions and thought processes because I am yoked by people w...

Psalm 12 - Juliano

Psalm 12 6 And the words of the Lord are flawless, like silver purified in a crucible, like gold refined seven times. Even though it was not the point of the psalm, this passage really stood out to me. I had received an imagery like this before a long time ago. During one of the Ekklesias years ago, someone had a word for me like this before I went to start art school. That God would polish me like gold. I had an idea of what that meant, but it does seem to carry more meaning now. My younger self thought that I "already experienced all". That "what else can I experience that is new?". Unconciously that is. That's when the part it says "gold refined seven times" stood out to me. Realizing that refinement it's not a one go process. My sort of personality likes to get the hard part stuff first out of the way. And I always felt like going through the hard process for the "investment of the future" was always the right move. T...

Psalm 15

who keeps an oath  even when it hurts,      and does not change their mind; 5  who lends money to the poor without interest;      who does not accept a bribe  against the innocent. ------ Shucks, I missed the deadline... Got caught up with some business that kept me out until now.. sigh... anyways... In light of today's message, I feel like this is super powerful. For me, the hardest part has been the keeping an oath part. I was the one who always tried to look out for myself, even if that meant sometimes not keeping my word. It's funny though because it's not like they were blatant betrayals, but like Sung said, some of those sticky situations where I'd have to ask "well, is this really that serious?" Today's message I think helps us become more like the traits the Psalmist wrote. Having a holistic view of redemption and what the Cross means for us will better equip us with the tools to live the way the Psalmist said. ---- L...
