21. Often times David speaks from a leaders view point. This makes sense because he was the leader of the Israelite's but for me at the vary least it's hard to relate to. The Lord takes our filthily bodies and turns them into something worthy of eternal life. As for those who tell the Lord I want to keep my filthily body. They will be devoured.
22. Sometimes we may feel as if God is nowhere to be found. As if he forgot us. everyone mocks us saying this God of yours is never there why worship him. Job is a wonderful example of what this Psalm is telling us to do. God has not abandoned us stay faithful follow Job's example.
23. Huge topic change from feeling like God is not with us to knowing that he is always providing. The Lord will always provide no worries no fear with God.
24. He made the stuff He makes the rules. Follow the rules and you will be rewarded greater than anything you can imagine. If he created the earth why not be grateful?
25.We need to trust the Lord and do whatever he says we may not understand why he tells us to do things. Just remember God knows best. David was an extremely faithful servant to the Lord. You have to have a lot of trust to go up against a 9 foot Goliath. He is fair all of his laws are good and without flaw.

Psalms 21- "The king rejoices in strength" meaning his reward to you is joy from what I thought. "You will destroy your enemies" with the Lord you can do all things! (Phil 4:13). Most of the chapters we have read so far is about trust. This one is also about trust and giving everything to God and he will take care of it just like most of the chapters.
Psalms 22- In this chapter he thinks that the Lord has forsaken him (abandoned). Be patient and the Lord will answer you when he thinks you need it most. God is trying to build your strength and trust in him. Finally in the end he does answer him. He will the rejoice in the Lord for all of his good doing.
Psalms 23- The Lord is his Shepard he will lead him on the right path of righteousness. He no longer has fear of the wicked or evil, because he is now on the right path with God.
Psalms 24- Follow the Lords rules and you will be rewarded the greater. Rejoice in all of the Lords doings for he is greater than anyone!
Psalms 25- this chapter is once again about trust. You have to have a lot of trust especially apply that to like your everyday life there is evil everywhere and God will protect you.

21- I agree tanner and think that it can be hard but we are all in some position of power and even though it may not be leadership its something. We are fighting a battle every day over evil some or just bigger and people are more in control. We all have enemies and I don't mean the ones that we don't like its the ones that Don't like God- those are the ones we need to stand up against. As Emma said we trust in you, you are our King! Rise up, O Lord in all your power- for we trust in you that these evil schemes will not prevail! (11-13 sort of paraphrased) 22- Sometimes we feel that God is distant- and times he maybe. I have found that usually its not Him thats distant but just me that is and not giving him the time and energy required. Thought it appears David is doing that and God is still away. It happens sometimes but as you guys eluded to just have to wait sometimes and he will be there. His plan is bigger than us and he sees the whole picture we only see part of it. I like that he says No one else can help me and often times we look to others for answers not to God. For me like 30 in that our Children will serve him and future generations (you guys)! 23-I can read vs one and almost say the end. The Lord is my shepherd, I have all that I need! We all know this and just how great God is and what he gives us. Sometimes we just have to step back and look at all the Lord has done for us and guides us protects us. We are stupid like sheep but he is our Shepherd and watches over us. My cup overflows with blessings- so true but I tend to want more Just glad that I can say I will live in the house of the Lord forever!! 24-I like that it says the we are the Lords and that everything in it is His as well. We follow the lords rules and we will get the greatest gift we can imagine- HE is the king of Glory! 25-I like 1-2 and just how simple this chapter is and just is a good prayer to have. That we can just put our trust in him and that he will guide us take care of us and not let anyone hurt us. He will protect us especially if we seek is protection and stay true to him

Good posts by everyone!
21- David is praising God for an answered prayer. He is thanking him. It makes me think that I should be thankful when foods answers one of my prayers
22- David is in a very difficult spot and is calling to the Lord for help. But regardless of his spot at the end of the psalm he still praises God. What a great and tough thing to do.
23- it gives me great comfort to know that the Lord is always with me guiding and protecting me.
24- I like the first two verses that everything is God's. It's a great perspective to have.
25- verses 4 and 5 would be a good theme verse for my life. I want to be taught and led by God my whole life and then in return I will put my hope in him.

There may be suffering now but it will be good for you. It's like a shot it hurts for a little while but can save you even more pain. Thought it went with chapter 22 It may feel like God is nowhere to be found but really he is making you stronger.
