The book of Psalms is filled with instruction in wisdom, and encouragement meant to strengthen our faith in the one and only true God in whom we have put our trust. How much better to get wisdom than gold And to get understanding is to be chosen rather than silver. Proverbs 16:16 Each psalm contains first hand examples of how our God and Father has worked in the lives of those who have lived before us and have kept their faith when the enemy has mounted overwhelming attacks against them. Seeing the faithfulness of God revealed as He brought them through their emotional and physical turmoil can give us the boost we need to persevere in our stressful everyday lives. The illustrations recorded in this book can help us to better understand and apply God's truth in our own lives as our Heavenly Father continues the good work which He has begun in us. Being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ. Philippians 1:6"
