Path 1: New Testament and Psalms

In Psalms 19–21, David celebrates God’s glory revealed in creation and His perfect law that restores the soul. He rejoices in the Lord’s strength and salvation for the king. These psalms blend personal devotion with royal theology: the covenant king’s victories foreshadow Christ’s triumph and the ultimate joy of God’s redeemed people.

Righteousness and Dominion through the True King: Psalm 21 celebrates the Lord’s anointed reigning in victory. This royal triumph prefigures Christ’s eternal kingship, where righteousness and joy overflow. Believers share in this dominion by submitting all of life to the risen King: family, labor, and culture. Through this, believers extend His rule through faithful obedience and enduring praise.

In Psalms 11–14, David declares confidence in the Lord when the foundations of society crumble. The righteous find refuge in God’s throne, while the fool denies His rule. These psalms affirm that the Lord tests hearts, upholds justice, and will ultimately restore His people when human strength and wisdom fail.

The Unshaken Throne: Psalm 11 reminds us that though the world may reject God’s rule, His throne remains unmoved. David’s faith points to the eternal stability of God’s reign. When cultures decay and moral order collapses, believers stand firm by trusting in God’s unchanging justice. True refuge is not found in escape or compromise but in confidence that His kingdom endures forever.

Path 2: Old Testament Pentateuch/History

In Leviticus 7–9, God concludes the laws of the offerings and inaugurates the priesthood. Aaron and his sons are ordained, and the first sacrifices are made on behalf of Israel. The Lord’s glory appears to all the people as fire consumes the offering on the altar. This marks the beginning of Israel’s worship led by consecrated priests.

Guided by His Truth: When fire fell from heaven in Leviticus 9, it was more than a display of power, it was a declaration of presence. The same…
