Psalm 87:1-7
Introduction
The first read of this Psalm creates more questions than answers. It’s meaning, and understanding are not warn on the sleeve, but rather buried deep within its words and meaning. There is great depth, and I don’t know that I will fully bring it all to the table though I will attempt to do so. It is a brilliant Psalm, with great truth.

Psalm 88:1-7
Introduction
Some of the Psalms are like the bright sunny day, in which they simply praise the Lord! Others are like the cloudy dreary day in which it rains, but suddenly the clouds break way, and the sun begins to shine, and there is a bright and happy ending to the rainy day. Other Psalms are like that of a dreary storm, who’s clouds hang low, and cover for days on end. The rain doesn’t end, it simply drags on, and the sun doesn’t shine at the end of the chapter. This Psalm is like that, however we will find a ray of hope in all of it.

Psalm 89
Introduction
While living in Cajamarca, Peru. We lived 9,000 feet above sea level. Surrounding us were mountains in every direction you looked. It was a scenic view. We lived in a bowl in the mountains. You had to climb roughly to 13,000 feet to get in our out of our town, and then drop back down to 9,000. The climb was steep, the two roads in and out were switch backs. You climb across the hill, not straight up it, then you do a u-turn, and continue climbing up the hill. During certain times of the year, every day at 3pm fog would completely cover the mountain top road that entered our town. It was dangerous to travel that road while covered in fog.

Psalm 90:1-6, 12
Introduction
This is a Psalm of Moses, making it one of the oldest Psalms. Perhaps where David took great inspiration from to write more Psalms.
Gen. 2:7 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.

Revelation 8:13, 9:1-12
Introduction
A reminder of where we are in the Book of Revelation. The first three chapters contain messages to the churches. Some have laid out time periods that these fit into. They also are relevant messages and perhaps even stages that any church can find itself in.
Revelation 4 – We believe the rapture takes place, we do not see any mention of the church hereafter. The scene is described as being in heaven, it is a marvelous scene of worshipping the LORD Jesus Christ.

Psalm 91:1-3
Introduction
We find a most encouraging Psalm for the believer. Following God is a blessing in our life. I have said many times, “Being in the center of God’s will is the safest place to be in the world!” If God’s will is for you to be in South America, that is the safest place for you to be. If something bad happens and you are in the center of God’s will, then understand he has allowed you to go through trials to grow you.

Psalm 92:1-15
Introduction
This is a simply Psalm, that much like our last one, is very positive, and encouraging. Some Psalms can be challenging, this is not one of those. It is a blessing to those who read it, it is a drink of cool water to the thirsty soul.
Romans 5:8 “8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.”

Psalm 93
Introduction
We have a great description of the King in this Psalm. This Psalm is not given a title, and we have no idea who the writer was. However, it matters not because it’s subject is of eternal value! We are far better knowing the King than the penman.
So it is with great interest we learn about our God tonight! There are truths written here, that we must focus on, and learn.

Psalm 94:1-7
Introduction
Psalm 94, like the one before it, has no title, or author listed. However, it is not needed, for it is a timeless Psalm, that transcends a specific problem, person, or place. It is fitting for today, and our needs in our life time. It is fitting for every generation, in all places.
Rom. 12:19 Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give
