From this morning’s sermon:-
According to W. McConnell… (IVP Dictionary of the Old Testament Wisdom and Poetry & Writings) in the psalms we see people engaged in worship who are in covenant with God…
No matter whether times are good or bad, God’s people can and should focus upon God and arrange their lives around him. No topics were off limits as they approached Yahweh…
- When they doubted…they said so…
- When they sinned…they confessed…
- When they suffered…the pleaded for deliverance…
- When things were going well or deliverance was granted…they thanked God and praised him for his abundant blessings.
- And…through it all…they encouraged one another, the rest of humanity, indeed the whole of creation, to praise the Lord…
