Essentially‚ the question posed is asking what our personal Christian counseling view is using Psalm 8 and 139. First‚ the Psalms tell me that God knows me in every way. He knows my every thought‚ action‚ and emotion even before I do. In fact‚ He knew these before He created me (Psalm 139‚ ESV). This is more than the human mind can truly understand. With that in mind‚ those that He places before me to counsel are also known by God in every way. When they struggle to come to terms with an innermost

MESSIAH IN PSALM 22 Many psalms contain references that are considered to be messianic‚ but none more than Psalm 22. Modern readers may read this passage and consider it as prophecy pertaining to Jesus. This is a logical conclusion considering that it is referenced in the New Testament more than any other Old Testament passage and contains imagery incredibly similar to what is found at Jesus’ crucifixion. The purpose of this paper is not to prove that Psalm 22 is prophetic and thus‚ predictive

A Psalm of Life 1 I think the message of this poem is to try to encourage people to live their lives in an important manor. Don’t just follow the crowd; stand out and be somebody noteworthy. Life is short‚ and we need to make it count. 2 I agree completely with the author’s view on life. I suppose my life philosophy is something along the lines of carpe diem‚ which is basically what he is saying in the line “Act--act in the living Present!” The last stanza of the poem was the part that spoke

enabled the shepherd to reach out for the sheep and draw it out of harm and back to the safety of the flock. Psalm 23 can be regarded as a psalm of high praise of God.

This psalm also uses the idea of parallelism that gives an idea in the first lines and keeps on repeating and elaborating
