When a man shuts God out of his thinking he becomes a fool. The psalmist remembers times in the past when God handed the whole human race over to foolishness. And he looks forward to a future when wisdom will triumph.

Jesus moved outside the synagogue to preach the good news to the towns of Galilee. Let’s meet some of the people who heard the good news.

David felt that his afflictions had gone on and on and he saw no end to them. Yet he found assurance and peace as he cried to the Lord. This psalm is for every believer who finds himself crying “how long?”

Jesus began his teaching work in the synagogue. But it couldn’t stop there. He knew he must go to the people outside. Simon and the other disciples were called likewise to launch out into the deep to fish for men.

In Capernaum Jesus demonstrated his power to confront the powers of evil and repair broken people. Jesus’s power and grace are still available for every damaged sinner.
