Be Exultant is a study of Psalms 90-150. Psalm 90 is the oldest, written by Moses. Wiersbe says Psalms 90-150, which are considered Books IV and V of the Psalms, were likely collected during the time of Ezra and include the “Songs of Degrees” (Psalms 120-134) and the “hallelujah psalms (Psalms 113-118, and 146-159). The New Testament refers to the Psalms over 400 times and Jesus quoted from the Psalms during His ministry. In times of trial, I’ve always been able to find comfort in the Psalms, in the promises of God, in who He is and has always been, and in what He has done and continues to do (like prepare a place for us - where He will gather His children and we will be with Him forever… “And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.” Rev. 21:4).

As Ken Baugh says in his introduction: “The psalms teach us to seek God with a whole heart, to tell Him the truth and tell Him everything, and to worship Him because of who He is, not just because of what He gives. They show us how to accept trials and turn them into triumphs, and when we’ve failed, they show us how to repent and receive God’s gracious forgiveness.” No matter what we’re facing, we do not have to face it alone - Immanuel - God is with us!
