God is not opposed to feeling. He does ask that we cover them with the facts.

When we feel rocky, we should talk to the Rock.

We best pour out our souls to the Pillar of heaven

The Lord is not AFRAID of feelings. They just may be the footprints that help us return to Him.

Let's let these sentiments run smack dab into the sediment of the Rock of God

I'm embarrassed to say this, but I didn't know that PRAISE can mean "TO THROW".

Ps42 is about what we "throw at God". It is about our PRAISE, but when? When tears are on the menu for breakfast. lunch and dinner. What do we throw at God when circumstances are not as we prefer?

We dictate the direction and the content of what we throw at God.

Are we throwing our best at God, when circumstances are at their worst?

When tears are on the menu, lets THROW our best, our praise to GOD. Watch it being done in 7 minutes:

The honesty of Ps42 is a little uncomfortable to hear. It is like reading someone's diary of longing and difficulty. If you want brutal honesty, read Psalm 42.

Things are not going well circumstantially as we step into this psalm. That's where the blues come from. Watch psalmist:

Get honesty before the Lord right

Get the heart longing right

Get the head remembering right

Get the habits heading right,

We may be strangers here, but we are guests of the Lord. Part of that is His call to be holy, which is the same thing as saying be corrected on a regular basis. I think this is true: to perceive His presence, is to perceive His correction. (tell me if you agree with me)

So if you are a believer, you probably should feel like a stranger and alien here. Even his ways are wild: the Lord is asks each of us to be HIS GUEST in this short life.

The whole world asks what is an essential spiritual question: How can I be forgiven? Fortunately, Scripture is not silent on the answer.

Psalm 39 finds David sinning in his HOT HEART. He thinks he's OK, but the Lord STRIKES HIM suddenly, and he is hit with the reality of his transgression. He then teaches us what to do when we find ourselves on the short end of sin.

This might be the most important psalm, for the techniques revealed, that you will ever consider.

You'd think that step one, "guarding your mouth with a muzzle", would be all that the good Lord requires of us. Nope. There is another step: watch what happens inside.

Does the muzzled anger burn a hole in your heart? I held my peace inside, but got no peace? I ate my words and they ate me up? If so, there is yet another problem to address. Join me if you just might need more than a muzzle.

This Psalm had me at the title. Even before the title, because of the instructions. This song is to be sung after I am dead at the opening of the temple.

If you wrote a song to be sung long after you are gone, what would you say?

David, the realist: Weeping my tarry for the night

David, the optimist: but JOY comes with the morning.

You have turned my mourning into DANCING.

I leave you with joy. I leave you with dancing.

Here it is: Be still and know that I am God.

I think this would be my mother's favorite verse. It was one of the first passages she underlined in her bible. She's passed from this world now, so she really now knows that He is God! Meantime, for us we can be still and know some truths in Psalm 46.

Join me and my mother today.
