An observation in the Psalms. What do you think?<\/span><\/h4>\n

Reading in the Psalms (Tehillim) this morning, it occurred to me that Psalm 22 (My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?), Psalm 23 (The LORD is my shepherd;I shall not want) to the end of Psalm 24 (Who is this King of glory?) may be read together as a string leading from the crucifixion to the glorification of Yeshua (Jesus).<\/p>\n

Okay, I know the entire story points to Him, but try reading those three Psalms as a structure and you will see what I mean.<\/p>\n

By the way, have you read Psalm 25 lately? Immediately after the power of the Messianic message in Psalms 22-24, comes an appropriate response:<\/p>\n

To You, O LORD, I lift up my soul. O my God, I trust in You;\u00a0Let me not be ashamed;\u00a0Let not my enemies triumph over me.
\nIndeed, let no one who waits on You be ashamed;\u00a0Let those be ashamed who deal treacherously without cause.
\nShow me Your ways, O LORD;\u00a0Teach me Your paths.\u00a0Lead me in Your truth and teach me,
\nFor You are the God of my salvation;\u00a0On You I wait all the day.
\nRemember, O LORD, Your tender mercies and Your lovingkindnesses,\u00a0For they are from of old.<\/p>\n

Do not remember the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions;\u00a0According to Your mercy remember me,
\nFor Your goodness\u2019 sake, O LORD.\u00a0Good and upright is the LORD;\u00a0Therefore He teaches sinners in the way.
\nThe humble He guides in justice,\u00a0And the humble He teaches His way.
\nAll the paths of the LORD are mercy and truth,\u00a0To such as keep His covenant and His testimonies.<\/p>\n

For Your name’s sake, O LORD,\u00a0Pardon my iniquity, for it is great.\u00a0Who is the man that fears the LORD?
\nHim shall He teach in the way He chooses.\u00a0He himself shall dwell in prosperity,
\nAnd his descendants shall inherit the earth.\u00a0The secret of the LORD is with those who fear Him,
\nAnd He will show them His covenant.\u00a0My eyes are ever toward the LORD,\u00a0For He shall pluck my feet out of the net … (NKJV)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The remainder of Psalm 25 takes on more of a Messianic tone again. But, I’m wondering, is that because we enter in to His sufferings when we pick up our own crosses and follow Him?<\/p>\n

Anyway … just thinking …<\/p>\n

Shalom!<\/p>\n
