Today we have a special guest, Jay Holland. Jay shares on Psalm 88, a psalm of lament. The psalmist is pouring out their heart to God as they are facing tremendous difficulties and deep anguish in their soul. When we face pain and hardship, we can be honest with it and take it all to God.
Psalm 139 is known as the "Omni Psalm" that examines the omniscience, omnipresence, and omnipotence of God. It helps us understand who God truly is and how this knowledge should shape our lives to honor and glorify Him.
We will all worship something; it's just a question of will it be God or something else. As we go through our daily lives, we are called to turn our hearts towards Jesus and keep our mind on things above instead of letting the distractions of this world drag us down.
Worship is one way to evaluate the health of our relationship with God. In Psalm 95, the psalmist says true worship involves much more than just music; it involves lifting up our heart, mind, and soul to God.
"As a deer pants for water ..." is how Psalm 42 begins and is a common phrase we've probably all heard. The author of Psalm 42 is facing hardship and trials in his life, and he is pouring out his heart and soul to God in the words of the psalm. We will all face dark times in life, and when those difficult times come, we can find comfort and solace in the faithfulness of God.
