As we consider this month’s focus on Worship, I recently picked up Max Lucado’s Life Lessons from Psalms: A Praise Book for God’s People.
As Lucado puts it, “Worship is a daunting task. For that reason, God gave us the Psalms—a praise book for God’s people.” This collection of hymns and petitions are strung together by one thread—a heart hungry for God.
All of the Psalms have one purpose—to give us the words to say when we stand before God. The very variety should remind us that worship is personal. No secret formula exists.
Consider these fun facts:
- King David is listed as the author of 73 Psalms—13 of which are closely associated with events in his life.
- King Solomon—author of the Proverbs—composed two Psalms.
- Psalm 90—the oldest psalm—was written by Moses.
