The Sons of Korah: Week 5

9/2/2025

4 Comments

 
Discover the beauty of #Psalm 47--a powerful #psalm of the #SonsOfKorah that calls us to #worship with joy and #devotion. This passage of #Scription reminds us that #God reigns as King over all the earth, ruling with #sovereignty and love. In this blog post, explore how clapping, shouting, and #singing #praises reflect a heart of longing for God’s presence and deep #faith in His power. Find #encouragement to live in awe of His throne and exalt Him as the #Lord Most High in every season of life.

A Devotion and Longing for God
​Psalm 47

The story of the Sons of Korah is one of remarkable redemption. Their ancestor, Korah, rebelled against God’s appointed leadership and perished under dramatic judgment (Num. 16). But “the sons of Korah did not die” (Num. 26:11). They lived—and from their lineage came some of the most heartfelt expressions of longing, worship, and devotion in the Psalms.

Though Korah sought to approach God on his own terms, his descendants teach us, through inspired song, what it means to approach God with reverence, humility, and awe. Let’s journey through the 11 psalms attributed to the Sons of Korah—Psalms 42, 44–49, 84, 85, 87, and 88. These psalms reflect a deep yearning for God’s presence and a resilient trust in His goodness, even in times of sorrow and silence.

#Discover “The Circle Maker” by Mark Batterson--a powerful call to #pray bold, #God-sized #prayers and #believe deeper. This #book review + key takeaways reveal how persistent, #faith-filled #prayer can transform your life, ignite vision, and honor God. #Learn how to dream bigger, seek God above answers, and stand firm until #breakthrough comes. Perfect for #believers, #leaders, #parents, and #intercessors longing for #spiritual growth and answered prayer. #PrayerWarrior #praying #prodigal
Recently, I had a divine coffeeshop appointment with a dear friend who couldn’t say enough good things about The Circle Maker by Mark Batterson—and by the time she finished, I had already ordered it on Amazon!

God’s timing is always perfect. The book arrived just in time for the “Covid rest” I didn’t know I needed.

As I prepare for the upcoming launch of Prodigal Prayers, The Circle Maker is helping me draw circles around the book and pray bold, faith-filled prayers over every prodigal that will be prayed for and every person who will read it.

If your prayer life feels dry or small, The Circle Maker will stretch your faith, ignite your boldness, and remind you it’s not about quick answers—it’s about transformation.

This inspiring #BibleStudy challenges #Christian women today to live with boldness, #share the #Gospel without shame, and follow her example of courage, conviction, and Gospel-centered #purpose in every season of life. #womenoftheword

Lessons from the Woman at the Well

What is the definition of extraordinary? According to the Cambridge English Dictionary, extraordinary means “very unusual and special; different in type or greater in degree than the usual or ordinary.”

Do you think there are any extraordinary women in the Bible? Who comes to mind? Maybe names such as Esther, Deborah, Sarah, Ruth, Mary, or Lydia come to mind. Maybe there are others that I didn’t name that you think of as extraordinary from your study of God’s Word.

​What is it that makes them extraordinary? I would submit that it is their actions, attitudes, and aspirations that make them stand out from others. Whole books have been written about women such as these and others.
