Christ in the Psalms
Having the Right Focus
Psalm 73
OVERVIEW
The book of Psalms is the most frequently read book in the Old Testament. Along with Proverbs, these books are important because they give us glimpses into the inner lives of David and others. However, if you dig deeper, you'll gain insight into how to live as an overcomer regardless of your circumstances. In the last message, we looked at the most beloved and familiar of the psalms – Psalm 23. We talked about what it truly means for Jesus to be our Shepherd, not only in dark days, but all the days of our life.
