Remember the Deeds of the LORD

Rev. Brian Flamme, pastor at Immanuel Lutheran Church in Roswell, NM, joins host Rev. Timothy Appel to study Psalm 77. The psalmist cries out to God in faith in Psalm 77, even as he wrestles with God in prayer. Day and night the psalmist can find no comfort as he considers God. He begins to turn as he makes diligent search, not within himself, but in the Word of God for the way God has acted in the past. As the psalmist recalls the mighty works of God from the Scriptures, the LORD draws the psalmist closer to himself so that the psalmist remembers that he is among the people of God who await promised deliverance. The Exodus from Egypt is the prime example of that for the psalmist; for us today, we see the LORD’s steadfast love through the greater Exodus Jesus has accomplished in His death, resurrection, and ascension. Join Sharper Iron during the month of July to study selected Psalms. In the Psalter, God speaks His Word to us and teaches us how to speak back to Him in prayer. Even in the great variety of the Psalms, each one points us to our Savior, Jesus Christ.
