Why Are You Cast Down, O My Soul? Psalms 42:1-11 There are several reasons why people fall into depression. Some have lost loved ones that are no longer with. Some have lost their health, no longer can they do what they used to do, some have lost their wealth,, and no longer can buy the things that they would like. But if you have been saved, you have not lost the Lord, even though you’re feeling down. Look up, let God lift you up by his wonderful love.
Christmas according to Matthew Matthew 1:16-25 My prayer is that you would not be so dogmatic about the day, And be right in your mind, but wrong in your heart. Let your heart be filled with joy that God sent his only begotten son, the savior of the world. Can you say hallelujah? Praise be to God for the wonderful birth of Jesus Christ.
O Lord, Be Gracious to Me Psalms 41:1-13 God almighty looks down from heaven and sees how we treat other people. If we look at the poor and look down upon them, or we look at the sinner and say there’s no help for them, we lift up ourselves above them, and God sees it. But if we humble ourselves and be like Jesus, and help the brokenhearted, heal the sick, and yes, raise the dead by giving them the gospel. Then God will look down upon us and will surely bless us.
My Help and My Deliverer Psalms 40:1-17 God is able to turn things around. David was in a horrible pit, but God reached down and pulled him out and put him upon a solid rock. Sometimes we get stuck in the mud. We can’t pull ourselves out. We need help, I believe, if we cry unto God. When we’re stuck in the mud, he will pull us out and put our feet upon his rock, which is Jesus Christ.
What Is the Measure of My Days? Psalms 39:1-13 When to speak, when not to speak? Jesus taught, “Cast not your pearls before swine.” I believe he was saying, “Hold your words. They will just trample them under their feet, but there is a time when the Holy Ghost grants power to speak boldly to proclaim the glorious Gospel of Jesus Christ. Lord, please grant us discernment today that we may be a blessing to others and what we say and what we don’t say.”
Do Not Forsake Me, O Lord Psalms 38:1-15 If you or I were to stand at the bed of this man, how could your heart not be moved with compassion? It seems that his whole world fell out beneath him, but praise God he reached out his hand unto God. God heard him and gave him hope that he would be delivered from all his troubles. Hallelujah! Will you reach out your hand to touch the hand of God today?
He Will Not Forsake His Saints Psalms 37:1-9 Trust in the LORD, and do good; Delight thyself also in the LORD; Commit thy way unto the LORD Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him Cease from anger, and forsake wrath If we follow these holy instructions, we will have the peace of God in our hearts. Don’t be like a dead fish, floating downstream. Be like a mighty salmon fighting your way through the currents. Remember that we’re on a journey to see God face-to-face.
How Precious Is Your Steadfast Love Psalms 36:1-12 “How excellent is thy lovingkindness, O God! therefore the children of men put their trust under the shadow of thy wings” The unrighteous never see the lovingkindness of God, but those that love his righteousness that come to him by faith and repentance we see God‘s lovingkindness. We know God‘s lovingkindness, and we feel God‘s lovingkindness.
Great Is the Lord Psalms 35:11-16 This passage reminds me of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. He came as the lamb of God. He dwelled among religious leaders of the day that mocked him, but he prayed for them and said, “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.” I think that we should follow his example.
Taste and See That the Lord Is Good Psalms 34:1-10 I’m reminded of the story of Joseph, how he was sold by his brethren, how he was betrayed by Potipherah’s wife, cast into prison, but God was with him, and God bless him. Stay steadfast. After God, you will see his mighty hand upon you.
