  • Psalm 123: Lifting Our Eyes to God for Mercy

    Psalm 123: Lifting Our Eyes to God for Mercy
    Dec 25 2025
    Psalm 123: Lifting Our Eyes to God for Mercy Series: Walking Through the Psalms Host: Dave Jenkins Date: December 26, 2025 Show Summary Psalm 123 is a prayer for weary believers who feel worn down, mocked, or burdened by life. In this episode, Dave Jenkins explores how this Song of Ascents calls God’s people to lift their eyes to the enthroned Lord, wait dependently for His mercy, and trust Him amid contempt and opposition. This psalm teaches us that the Christian life is lived not by self-sufficiency, but by humble dependence on the mercy of God—especially when trials press in and strength runs low. Audio Player Video Player Key Scripture Psalm 123 Episode Notes Looking Up to the Enthroned King (Psalm 123:1) Waiting Dependently for Mercy (Psalm 123:2) Crying Out Under Contempt (Psalm 123:3–4) Key Themes God is enthroned in heaven and rules over all things. Believers are called to depend entirely on God’s mercy. Waiting on God is active faithfulness, not inactivity. God’s people often endure scorn and opposition in the world. Mercy is God’s loving response to our weakness. Takeaways Toward God: Lift your eyes to the Lord daily and depend on His mercy. Toward Yourself: Embrace dependence instead of self-sufficiency; remember your limitations. Toward Others: Show mercy to the weary and discouraged. Toward the World: Expect contempt, but respond with trust and steadfastness—not fear. Christ-Centered Focus Psalm 123 finds its fulfillment in Jesus Christ. Jesus endured scorn and contempt, yet trusted the Father and obeyed perfectly. At the cross, mercy descended not in judgment upon us, but in grace through Christ. Because of Jesus, we lift our eyes with confidence, knowing God’s throne is a throne of grace.

    The Word Became Flesh: Celebrating the Incarnation of Christ Anchored in the Word with Dave Jenkins • Christmas Day Special Show Summary On this Christmas Day episode, we rejoice in the miracle of the Incarnation that the eternal Son of God took on human flesh and dwelt among us (John 1:14). Dave shares how the Incarnation reveals God’s presence (Immanuel), God’s grace (the humble obedience of Christ for our salvation), God’s truth (the Word made visible), and God’s glory (revealed in the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus). Take time today to worship, give thanks, and rejoice that the Savior King has come, and will come again. Scripture: John 1:14; Philippians 2:6–9; John 14:9 Listen & Watch Key Points Presence: Jesus “pitched His tent” among us — God is near and personal. Grace: The manger points to the cross where grace is poured out in full. Truth: In a world of confusion, Jesus is the truth made visible.

Psalm 122 trains God’s people to worship with gladness, walk in true unity under God’s Word, and pray for peace with biblical wisdom and gospel clarity.ListenWatchEpisode NotesScripture ReadingPsalm 122Big IdeaWorship with joy, walk in unity, pray for peace, because Christ has secured true peace with God.Episode Outline1) Joy in Worship (Psalm 122:1–2): Worship is not convenience or obligation, it is covenant joy rooted in God’s redeeming love.2) Unity Grounded in God’s Presence and Word (Psalm 122:3–5): Biblical unity is a gift created by the Spirit and stewarded through faithfulness to Scripture, not manufactured by sentiment.3) Pray for Peace (Psalm 122:6–9): Shalom is not the absence of conflict but the presence of God’s order and blessing, and true peace is only possible through Jesus Christ (Romans 5:1).Key EmphasesFalse peace offers comfort without Christ and can leave people unreconciled to God.True peace is secured by Christ’s finished work and applied by the Spirit through the Word.Christians may value public peace, but our central concern is gospel peace, reconciliation to God through Jesus Christ.Memorable Line“Worship with joy. Walk in unity. Pray for peace.”Call to ActionIf this episode helped you, please share it and consider leaving a review.
