Food for Thought in Psalms

Short, relevant and inspirational Bible studies for each chapter of the book of Psalms. Bite-sized and ideal for personal meditation, family Bible time, group Bible studies and in preparing Bible talks.

Jesus based his teaching on the Old Testament scripture. Surprisingly, rather than suggest we study it, he told us to eat a portion of it daily! Taking a small portion of the Bible as our daily diet will help us transform day-by-day into a character like Jesus.

Writing in an engaging and conversational style, Rob de Jongh provides food for thought for each chapter of the book of Psalms, a book containing some of the most revealing insights into the minds of David and Jesus. Discover how the Psalms match historical events such as David's sin with Bathsheba, his near death experiences at the hand of King Saul, and his betrayal by his son Absalom. Read the innermost feelings of David as he grappled with his weaknesses and sin, and discover how these events pointed forward to Jesus and his ministry.

The book of Psalms, perhaps more than any book in the Bible, gives us food for thought and comfort in a myriad of situations, and shows us a pattern of how we can overcome our human propensity for selfishness and ultimately give in to God's will for us. It teaches us how to pray and how to praise God through the words of those whom God inspired to write them for our learning.
