Dr. Warren W. Wiersbe
(the former General Director and Bible Teacher for Back to the Bible) has mined
the Psalms for their riches. He has
traced the thinking of godly men and followed them into greater depths of
understanding. He has devoted much of
his life to Bible study and meditation.
And now, in this devotional book he offers you nuggets of pure gold.
Prayer Praise
& Promises : A Daily Walk Through the Psalms is based on Dr. Wiersbe’s
radio ministry and his cassette series, Dyna Moments. His personal reflections and insights help
make each devotional fresh and relevant.
It’s a book that you’ll
want to savor one day at a time. Ponder
its truths and apply them to your life.
You’ll be the richer for it.
In the
foreword Dr. Woodrow Kroll, President
Back to the Bible Intl. wrote:

| Dr. Wood |
“The Psalms have
always held a special place in the affection of Israel. The people of God rejoiced and lamented
together by singing the Psalms. The
early Christians discovered the Psalms to be an integral link to their heritage
as well.
A psalm was the
expression of joy uttered by Augustine at his conversion, and a psalm was the
consolation on his lips as he lay upon
his death bed. Chrysostom comforted
himself in exile by quoting the Psalms.
John Hus had a psalm on his lips as he was burned at the stake Reciting
a psalm, Luther entered the Diet of Worms, prepared to defy the Church and
stand by faith alone.
But the Psalms
have meant much more to us than affection or motivation. They also have been a significant source of
inspiration. A. C. Gabelein used to say,
“A psalm a day keeps worry away.” Many
of us have found the Psalms to be an excellent source of comfort, of courage,
strength.
Strength and hope
for our spiritual journey is the goal of Warren Wiersbe in this daily
devotional on the Psalms, and he succeeds very well. Writing in his own
practical and interesting style, Dr. Wiersbe brings us to the banquet table and
serves a heaping portion of God’s blessing and strength through each
psalm. Every reader will be blessed but
more than that, every reader will be instructed, motivated, inspired and
challenged.
Here you will find
daily food in abundance—good food, tasty food, food to fuel your Christian
life. If a psalm a day does keep worry
away, who of us can afford to be without one?
This devotional good will ensure that your minimum daily Psalms requirement
is met. Bon appétit!

Preface To God’s Hymnal
Have you ever read
the preface to the hymnal used in your church?
Few people ever do. The preface
to God’s hymnal (the Book of Psalms) is Psalm 1. It begins with a word we often use—blessed. Nowhere does Scripture tell us that God
blesses programs or promotions. But it
does teach that He blesses individuals.
He blessed Abraham so he might be a blessing to others. And He blesses us so we might bless others.
What you delight
in is what will direct your life, so be careful what you enjoy. The blessed person delights in the Law of the
Lord (v.2). He delights so much in the
Word of God that he meditates on it during the day. Meditation is the soul what digestion is to
the body. It means assimilating the Word
of God.
The blessed person
is like a tree (v.3). A tree has
roots. The most important part of your
life is your “root system.” Don’t be
like the ungodly, who are like chaff (v.
4). Chaff doesn’t have roots. Don’t be like the ungodly, who are like chaff (v.4). Chaff doesn’t have roots. It is blown away by every wind that comes
along. Your root system is important
because it determines your nourishment.
It also determines your stability and your strength when the storm comes
and the wind starts to blow.
People can’t see
your root system, but God can. Praying
and meditating on the Word of God will cause your roots to go down deep into
His love.
God delights in
blessing His children. But we must prepare
ourselves for His blessings by first appropriating the resources He has given
us. Delight in the Word of God and feed
on it. But do more than, occasionally read the Word; meditate on it
constantly. Make it your source of
spiritual nourishment, and God will bless you with strength and stability.
