Summary of Readings
·
The
Bible has 66 Books, written by 40 authors over 1500 years
·
Like
the Bible, The Book of Psalms itself was written by many authors; it is thought
to have been compiled by Ezra after the Captivity
·
The
Book of Psalms contains the middle chapter (Psalm 117) and middle verses (Psalm
103:1-2) of the Bible
·
The
Book provides insights into how people felt, especially after key Biblical
events, and the Sections confirm a continuing relationship with God across
changing societies and cultures
·
The
Psalms provide support, comfort and instruction for emotional needs in our
relationship with God, and with other people
·
The
tools in Psalms show us how to cope with life’s issues, as we seek eventually
“to dwell in the house of the Lord
forever” (Psalm 23) – either with a spiritual house in the resurrection,
or a physical house should our spirit and soul and body become the temple of
God at Jesus Christ’s return.
