BIB515-1 : Psalms 1

The Book of Psalms is the most often quoted reference in the New Testament. The Psalms are not only unexcelled for being inspirational and comforting, they are also one of the richest sources of prophetic insights in the entire Bible. It may come as a shock to discover how many Messianic insights are tucked away in the Psalms: from secrets of the creation, to profiles of the ultimate (and imminent) cosmic war; from the tawdry stresses of those boyhood days growing up in Nazareth, to the exaltation of establishing His Kingdom on the Planet Earth.

Psalms also emphasizes the heart and soul of humanity. It is a collection of songs and prayers that intimately express the deepest emotions experienced by mankind. It provides comfort, strength and help during our darkest moments as well as praise and joy only found through God's everlasting love and forgiveness.
