Sunday Psalms:

"But as for me, 

God will 

redeem my life. 

He will 

snatch me from 

the power 

of the grave."

Interlude

Psalms 49:15 NLT

This song is like Proverbs set to music, a song that is a reminder that some people will prosper in this life;

"So don't be dismayed when the wicked grow rich 

and their homes become ever more splendid."

Psalms 49:16 NLT

And is clear about the reality that "you can't take it with you" or that analogy that life is like a game of Monopoly, once the game is over, it all goes back in the box;

"For when they die, 

they take nothing with them. 

Their wealth will not follow them into the grave."

Psalms 49:17 NLT

This song seems to be some kind of reality check about life and about death. And in the middle is this reminder that there is a Redeemer. 

That there is more. 

That our hope is not contained in the the success in this world or in collecting the things our culture defines as valuable. Our hope is in our Redeemer. This song points forward to Jesus;

"But as for me, 

God will 

redeem my life. 

He will 

snatch me from 

the power 

of the grave."

So today we get to live in the light of that truth, knowing the Redeemer has come, and the freedom that brings.
