A Reflection with the Psalms (Psalm 108)

A Life of Praise

24 # Short Commentary and Lesson from Psalm 108.1

To praise the lord with your whole heart is the most selfless act you can expeience in your life. Sometimes our prayers contain a bit of selishness, even if the asking is on behalf of others.

On the other hand, praise is a gift that is freely given in adoration of the awesome God. It demands a reverant attitude of the body, a focused mind, and energetic emotion from the heart, and a submissive spirit. Our songs and words are sent out with no expectation of getting something in returrn. Praise is an expression of uncondition love.

Psalm reflection with Psalm 22

Deserted by God?

5 # Short Commentary and Lesson from Psalm 22.1

No other words in the Bible capture the sense of abondonment we all feel at some point better than these. They are not an immature complaint of “Why don’t I have more money,” or “Why can’t I be happy?” Instead, they are a cry from the very depth of our being- ” Why have you deserted me?”

Jesus shouted these words at god when he hung on the cross centuries after they were written (Mathew 27.46)

So can we. God doesn’ t mind honest anguish and doubt. What he wants from us when we experience great pain is for us to hand that pain to him – even if we feel like God isn’t there.
