It is little wonder that the book of the Psalms is far and away the most popular book in the Bible. The psalmists often give voice to the thoughts and meditations of our own hearts. There is virtually no experience in life that is not touched on my the themes found in this wonderful collection of hymns. Not only do the psalmists touch on our pains and joys but in the process they manage to expound on the great theological truths of Scripture.
A friend asked me to fill the pulpit for him this coming Sunday and it has been a toss up between Psalms 1 & 2 which compliment one another (note the opening statement in Psalm one and the closing statement in Psalm two) and Psalm 139. Since I only have the one Sunday I've opted for Psalm 139. He has given me a time limit of 25-30 minutes (way too short for almost anything I normally do, but certainly too little time to cover the first two Psalms. If you have any interest in reading the background notes on these sermons you may click on the link and you'll be taken to the appropriate page. I worked on both sermon notes before deciding.
