Psalm 51 Song by Poor Bishop Hooper
When we examine our busy and frazzled lives, what kind of worshipper would God say that we are?
Are we the religious ritualist who goes through the motions to check all the boxes?
Are we the hypocritical worshipper who lives a double life before God and others?
Or are we the kind of worshipper that God is seeking? Are we the faithful ones who offer the kind of sacrifice God is pleased with?
Listen in to hear what God desires to speak to His people. May we have ears to hear.

In this life we are tempted at every turn to keep our eyes fixed on that which is vain and temporal. We live in a world that is obsessed with money, possessions, and self glory. If we are sucked into this rat race, we risk forsaking our true calling and purpose on the earth. This Psalm calls us to take an eternal persective on money and possessions and to seek the treasure which lasts forever. With eternity in view, we will be delivered from earthly fear and we can look forward to a rich welcome into the eternal Kingdom.
