I think my favorite of all of the Psalms is Psalm 22. Although it was written long before Jesus was ever manifest in the flesh, it prophesies so much about His crucifixion. It was written by David who was the direct ancestor of Joseph, the step father of Jesus (we all know that His true Father is the Lord God almighty.) It just blows me away that David would write the exact words and actions that His Lord would say and do while dieing and absolving the world of it's sin. (1)1 My God, My God, why have You forsaken me? (2) 7-8 All those who see Me ridicule Me; They shoot out the lip, they shake the head, saying, "He trusted in the Lord, let Him rescue Him; Let Him deliver Him, since He delights in Him!" (3) 16-18 For dogs have surrounded Me; The congregation of the wicked has enclosed Me. They have pierced My hands and My feet; I can count all my bones. They look and stare at Me. They divide My garments among them, And for My clothing they cast lots.
No one in their right mind could deny the fulfillment of prophesy, and this is just a few examples. The first time that I had the privilege of reading this I wept. I just couldn't help but to cry because the miracle of the gospel was really coming together in my mind. I already believed but this just solidified that belief. I don't know much about mathematical probabilities but I can guess that the chances of just this one Psalm being fulfilled as it was would have to be astronomical.
Our God is a God who makes the "impossible" possible! He has all dominion over the heavens and the earth, He is ageless and limitless, He is everywhere and active in everyone's life; even those who deny Him. He loved the world so much that He would allow the creation to put to death His Son in order that He would be the perfect and final sacrifice which atoned for all sin, past, present,and future. PRAISE GOD, AMEN and AMEN!!
