The Hopes And Priorities Of The New Year
The first thing we're told in Psalm 63 is that this is a psalm of David when he was in the desert of Judah. David was the most famous King of the Jewish people. He was a very human individual who went through all kinds of experiences and failures and struggles and came through them all. This is a song of faith that was written during a difficult time in David's life. The desert is a symbol of our hard times. It's a wasteland that offers very little to nurture or sustain life. But verse 7 says: Because you are my help, I sing in the shadow of your wings. That's a pretty good theme verse for the year to come. The Psalm is saying there is a way to sing, to thrive, even in a wasteland.

God's Revelation
C. S. Lewis once wrote about Psalm 19: "I take this to be the greatest poem in the Psalter and one of the greatest lyrics in the world". This Psalm is a poem about how God reveals himself. There are three movements to this work. The first is God revealing himself in the world. The second is God revealing himself through his Word. Thirdly, there is a personal reflection and confession in response to God's revelation.

God With Us: The Psalms And The Birth Of Christ
Although it is quite appropriate at this time of year to think about the image of the sweet child in the manger, probably what we most need is to get our perception of Jesus out of the manger into the midst of our lives and into our hearts and into the real issues of our world which are pretty deep and real.
