5-Minute Devotions Through the Book of Psalms
One of the things I learned as I studied the book of Psalms is that God welcomes our honest emotions. He gave us our emotions and He loves it when we go to Him prayer expressing our joys, our sorrows, and everything in between.
The Life Application Bible Notes introduce the Psalms saying:
This great collection of songs and prayers expresses the heart and soul of humanity. In them, we find the whole range of human experiences expressed. David and the other writers honestly poured out their true feelings, reflecting a dynamic, powerful, and life-changing friendship with God.
So, here’s a list of devotions that will walk you through the Book of Psalms and help you build a powerful and life-changing friendship with God with the help of His Spirit and the power of His love. Bookmark this page so you can come back to this devotional journey throughout the year.
