From Lamenting to Praise: What The Psalms Teach Us About Prayer

The Bible Project has wonderful videos and articles for students of the Bible and disciples of Yashua (Jesus) to learn from.  This post is a summary in my own words from their article on the book of Psalms found at the link above.  Be sure to read it as it expounds on this short summary – you won’t want to miss the details!

The Psalms are a collection of ancient Hebrew poems, prayers, and songs that come from different eras in Israel’s history.  The Psalms are not a hymnbook, but many of them were used by Israel’s temple choirs. The book of Psalms was intentionally put together after Israel’s exile to Babylon. The book has a unique design and message that is easy to miss unless it is read from beginning to end. It also is helpful in order to see the book’s overall design to start at the end with the 5 poems of praise to the God of Israel.

My calling as a Child of the Creator is to take the Gospel, as it relates to the WHOLE creation, to the world; and to remind the Church of its Biblical responsibilities to non-human animals and the earth.
