Lamentations 1. It was written as dirge poetry at the time when Jerusalem was afflicted and captured. It is a true acrostic, which means the twenty-two letters of the Hebrew alphabet are used in succession to begin the lines and sections of those songs.

Lamentations 2. It too is dirge poetry written in an acrostic form emphasizing God’s anger over Jerusalem.

Psalm 91. The author is anonymous. Charles Spurgeon commented: “In the whole collection there is not a more cheering Psalm, its tone is elevated and sustained throughout, faith is at its best, and speaks nobly.” He also quoted (in English) Siméon Marotte deMuis: “It is one of the most excellent works of this kind which has ever appeared. It is impossible to imagine anything more solid, more beautiful, more profound, or more ornamented.”

Psalm 92. A Song for the Sabbath day. Give thanks to the LORD. God judges His enemies, and He makes His people flourish.

December 31, read the Bible in a year; in PowerPoint, with comments.

Proverbs 31. The sayings of King Lemuel. The book of Proverbs ends up with “The Wife of Noble Character”, and every day I thank the Lord for my wife of 56 years. Lives would have been quite different (three children and seven grandchildren would not exist at all) if God had not brought us together.

This ends the year 2024 and I would like to pray for our protection in the year 2025, The Psalm that expresses God’s protection of His people is Psalm 91.
