Psalms begins with many metaphors. The Lord continues to make covenants with prophets on Earth. Psalms are very short; they are pretty straightforward, unlike many of the other chapters of the Bible. The Lord continues to listen to his people as they ask for his forgiveness and pity. Sacrifices are made for the Lord to show their worshipping ways. Psalms continues in a happy uplifting tone, where the people continue to ask for forgiveness because the people have finally praised God the way God always

Proverbs 28:1 ​ If you travel our United States cities you will find churches on most corners, and while they are of different denominations, very few seem to be effective in their teaching, or preaching including those who promote and advocate the True Gospel of Jesus Christ!

The book of Psalms ("praises") is wisdom literature in hymn form. The Psalms are

The author of the book is not known for sure until today but most argue that the author of the book is not Job rather, “some have suggested that the writer could be Moses, Solomon, or Elihu.” There are different views regarding the real existence

tradition with a large section of the Old Testament devoting itself to it. Job, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, Sirach, the Wisdom of Solomon, and the Wisdom Psalms such as 33 and 107 make up this literature. Job, dates from the tenth century B,C and has a philosophical and theological reflection on why the righteous suffer.

A lot of questions arise regarding the kind of the world our earth is heading up to. Reading II Timothy 3:1-10 and Matthew 24 makes us aware that this world, apart from God, is heading towards turmoil! How then can we give hope and assure ourselves that our children will
