Psalms: Unique and Purposeful Structure

We are continuing in our series this week, “Discovering the Psalms.” The Book of Psalms most vividly expresses the doubt and faith individuals have placed in the Lord as they walked with Him. If we’re honest, many of us read the Psalms for personal comfort—and that’s okay! But as we start to peel layers off this popular book of the Bible, we see a unique structure that is in each of the 150 chapters. This week Chris will explain the layout of the Psalms and how they flow together. 

As we look at the five books inside the Psalms we believe you’ll begin to see how God is in the intricate details God has in His Word. Looking at how the Psalms are laid out will show you that reading them for comfort and pleasure are not the only reasons  we should be going there. We also see God’s plan in how He chose to layout Scripture. As believers in Jesus the Messiah, this should comfort even more, knowing that God is in the smallest details and we have nothing to fear.
