Psalm 22

Our Churches should be filled with praise and reverence for our King in unison with those who honor and trust Him alone! 

The world gives us the news of the world filled with violence, guns, struggles, politics and hate… inside our Churches should not resemble the world. 

The Body of Christ should be a place of worship, peace and love. Do not fear is told to us over and over in Scripture…it is all in His hands and He wins! 

Joy in the Lord, not fear, is our strength.

David promises to praise the Lord for His miraculous salvation among other believers—in the great assembly at the temple. This public proclamation would encourage others to place their trust in the faithful Lord who rescues His people.

Psalm 22 is a profound lament psalm that concludes as a triumphant psalm of praise for God’s deliverance. Although this psalm speaks of David’s own distress and the Lord’s deliverance of him, it also prophetically describes in remarkable detail Jesus’ crucifixion and resurrection. The language David uses to describe his own predicament is prompted by the Holy Spirit. Thus it could span a thousand years to describe precisely the experiences of the Savior Jesus—both His excruciating death and victorious resurrection.
