I Love the Lord – Psalm 116:1–19
Posted by Dave Jenkins | Walking Through the Psalms
Psalm 116 is a deeply personal expression of love for the Lord from one who has been delivered from death and distress. In this episode, Dave Jenkins walks through this psalm verse by verse to show how God’s gracious deliverance leads to heartfelt worship, lifelong obedience, and public praise. From crying out in desperation to lifting up the cup of salvation, we learn how to respond to God’s grace with gratitude and devotion—ultimately pointing us to Jesus, who drank the cup of suffering for our salvation.
