Journalling Psalm 106 to 110

📖 Psalm 106

Summary:
Psalm 106 is a national confession of Israel’s repeated unfaithfulness despite God’s continual mercy. The psalmist recalls how the people forgot God's works, disobeyed His commands, and turned to idols—yet God still heard their cry and saved them.

Key Verse:
“Nevertheless he regarded their affliction, when he heard their cry” – Psalm 106:44 (KJV)

Reflection:
This psalm reminds us of God's faithful love, even when we fail Him repeatedly. It challenges us to examine whether we are truly remembering God's faithfulness or repeating old patterns of disobedience.

Response:
Lord, I confess my forgetfulness and my tendency to stray. Thank Thee for Thy mercy that endureth forever. Help me to remember Thy deeds and walk in obedience daily.

📖 Psalm 107

Summary:
Psalm 107 celebrates God’s steadfast love as He delivers people from trouble—wanderers, prisoners, the sick, and those caught in storms. All who cry to the Lord in their distress are rescued by Him.

Key Verse:
“Then they cried unto the Lord in their trouble, and he delivered them out of their distresses.” – Psalm 107:6 (KJV)

Reflection:
No matter how we arrive at our trouble—whether by folly, rebellion, or hardship—the Lord’s mercy remains available. He responds when we call, not based on our merit, but on His grace.

Response:
Heavenly Father, I thank Thee that I can always cry unto Thee in trouble. Help me not to wait until crisis comes but to walk closely with Thee in every season.

📖 Psalm 108

Summary:
Psalm 108 is a song of confident praise and prayer. David begins by exalting God and then petitions for victory over enemies, trusting in God’s steadfast love and power.

Key Verse:
“Through God we shall do valiantly: for he it is that shall tread down our enemies.” – Psalm 108:13 (KJV)

Reflection:
Confidence in life’s battles comes not from ourselves but from God's strength. This psalm teaches us to praise before the victory and to rely not on man, but on the Lord.

Response:
O Lord, I set my heart to praise Thee, even before the answer cometh. Strengthen my faith to trust that Thou wilt act on my behalf.

📖 Psalm 109

Summary:
David prays fervently for justice against malicious enemies. It is a psalm of imprecation, seeking God’s intervention and declaring that God defends the poor and needy against evil.

Key Verse:
“For he shall stand at the right hand of the poor, to save him from those that condemn his soul.” – Psalm 109:31 (KJV)

Reflection:
Though intense, this psalm expresses deep trust that vengeance belongs to the Lord. When slandered or betrayed, we are to bring our case to God, not seek revenge.

Response:
Lord, when I am wronged, help me to commit it into Thy hands. I choose to trust in Thy justice rather than taking matters into mine own.

📖 Psalm 110

Summary:
Psalm 110 is a messianic psalm pointing to Jesus Christ as the eternal priest and victorious king. David foretells the Lord’s rule at God’s right hand, His priesthood after Melchizedek, and His ultimate judgment over the nations.

Key Verse:
“The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool.” – Psalm 110:1 (KJV)

Reflection:
This majestic psalm reveals Christ’s divine authority. It reminds us that Jesus reigns now, and all will be brought under His rule. Our hope is not in worldly systems, but in the King of kings.

Response:
Lord Jesus, I bow before Thee as my eternal King and High Priest. Rule in my heart and reign in every part of my life. I surrender all to Thee.

29th June 2025 – Boys’ & Girls’ Brigade Enrolment Sunday Sermon Title: Enrolling in God’s Brigade Preacher: Reverend Aaron Liu Scripture: Galatians 5:1; 13–25 Sermon Summary: On this Enrolment Sunday, Reverend Aaron Liu reminded us that joining the Boys’ and Girls’ Brigade is symbolic of a much greater calling—our enrolment in God’s eternal brigade . The message centers on the true meaning of freedom in Christ —not as a personal entitlement, but a divine responsibility . Through Galatians 5, Paul encourages us to:    1. Stand Steadfast in Freedom 📖 Galatians 5:1 – “It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.” Freedom is a responsibility , not just a right. We are freed from sin, not to serve ourselves, but to serve God and others. True Christian freedom resists returning to the bondage of legalism or self-indulgence. 2. Serve Selflessly in Love 📖 Galatians 5:13–14 – “Serve on...
