Two things happen at Wednesday night prayer meetings at my church: prayer and Bible study. After a prayer time for those who are ill and for the many spiritual needs in our church and community, Jackie Brem, my pastor usually leads the Bible study. Recently he has been teaching from Psalms and last night the study was from Psalm 144.
But last night Jackie did something unusual. He started his study with the final verse of the chapter rather than the first. The reason, he said, was that the entire chapter leads up to the final, most important verse. He didn’t want us to miss the climactic verse, so he discussed it first.
That final, most important verse talks of happiness—a kind of happiness experienced only through knowing God.
Happy is that people . . . yea, happy is that people, whose God is the Lord. Psalm 144:15 (KJV)
