Notes

Over 20 years ago, bestselling author Tim Keller decided to read the book of Psalms in a month...every month. Known as the Bible’s songbook, the Psalms contains the peaks and troughs of human experience, the euphoria of God’s presence and the despair of personal anguish. Over his repeated readings of the book of Psalms, Tim Keller discovered new messages every month, with every re-reading.

  
My Rock My Refuge is made of those reflections.

  
Drawn from years of insights and practical wisdom, My Rock My Refuge is a stunning one-year journey through what the Psalms have to say about relying on God for security and safety.

  
If you have never read a devotional book before, My Rock My Refuge is the perfect starting point for you. Every day has a reading from the book of Psalms, and a reflection from Tim Kellers own journey through the book of Psalms.

  
A guidebook to praise and perseverance, the Psalms become more than a hymnbook. The Psalms offer spiritual guidance for every life situation that comes across your path. Helping you to see God, speak to God and trace his fingerprint on your life, My Rock My Refuge shows how the Psalms are, ultimately, songs of Jesus.

  
For an insightful journey into the very heart of the Bible, spend 2019 in the Psalms and see how your own faith will grow around these songs of faith and praise.

Here is a daily devotional book which will undoubtedly widen the horizons and the hopes of readers, through some of the finest religious poetry (which is what the Psalms are) ever written, a pinnacle of Jewish worship which all Christians can share. - The Irish Catholic

In "A year of daily devotions in the Psalms" \[...\] Timothy Keller, with Kathy Keller, has adapted the 150 Psalms - what Martin Luther dubbed "a mini Bible" - into 365 daily readings. While the author accepts that the Psalms are the "divinely inspired devotional book", he maintains that most readers need the help of a guide, if only on an initial reading, and so each daily quotation from a Psalm is accompanied by a reflection and a prayer. Five pages of notes list the many sources drawn upon for this supporting material, including C S Lewis, George Herbert, John Newton and Charles Wesley. - The Methodist Recorder

Each devotion is for a specific date... a passage from a psalm is printed in full, followed by a brief meditation... readers of the book are advised to use it to prompt their keeping of a daily prayer journal. - The Church Times

Timothy specialises in connecting the ancient truths of the Bible with our everyday issues ... This would be an excellent gift for someone who is drawn to the poetic books of the Bible or for those who seek some routine in their time with God each day. - iBelieve Magazine

Every day there are five or six verses of a Psalm, followed by a comment and a prayer. It could be a useful tool for family prayers. - Ministry Today

I am a sucker for books like this - something to keep me on the biblical straight and narrow...I love this book. - Reflections Magazine

The book was the main cover of the magazine and was the featured book for the publication. - CLC World

Short, insightful devotions, packed with wisdom and practical application - a good daily diet! - Together Magazine

From the inspirational author and pastor Timothy Keller comes this daily resource for reading the book of Psalms in a deeper, faith-building way.

READ Psalm 16:7-11: I will praise the Lord, who counsels me; even at night my heart instructs me. I keep my eyes always on the Lord. With him at my right hand, I will not be shaken. Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices; my body will also rest secure, because you will not abandon me to the realm of the dead, nor will you let your faithful one see decay. You will make known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand.

THE BEST IS YET TO COME. If God is our greatest good, we can get what can't be lost and will only increase - infinitely. The Lord is at our right hand. To be at someone's right hand is to be their advocate in court or support in battle or companion for a journey. In Christ this is all literally true (Acts 2:24-36). Because he died and rose for us, he is our representative in heaven (so we are completely forgiven) and companion on earth (so we are intimately loved). And someday we will not just sense him at our side but see him face to face. In our resurrected bodies that will be endless, unimaginable pleasure (verses 9-11). Now we have nothing to fear.

PRAYER: Lord, as I lay down in sleep last night and rose this morning only by your grace, so keep me in a joyful, lively remembrance what whatever happens, I will someday know my final rising - the resurrection - because Jesus christ lay down in death for me and rose for my justification. Amen.
