Today's Scripture

Insight 

King David is credited with composing seventy-three to seventy-four of the psalms, and Psalm 86 is one of them. Unlike some of David’s songs (see, for example, the superscription of Psalm 51), Psalm 86 contains no comments about the circumstances that prompted its writing, and it appears to contain numerous phrases that appear in other Davidic psalms. However, the key feature of Psalm 86, as observed in The New Bible Commentary, maybe that the name Lord appears seven times (vv. 3, 4, 5, 8, 9, 12, 15) using the Hebrew term Adonai, which speaks of God’s sovereignty. As David offers worship and adoration to God, he also presents his needs and concerns to Him—knowing that he’s appealing to the God who not only deserves all his worship and praise but that He’s the One who can be trusted with all possible outcomes.

A Threshing Floor

A Threshing Floor In the ancient world, farmers used threshing floors to separate grain from its inedible husk (chaff) by beating it with a flail or walking animals on it—sometimes while towing a threshing sledge. Sledges were fitted with flint teeth to dehusk the grain more quickly. Other workers would turn the grain over so that it would be evenly threshed by the sledge.
