When Overwhelmed with Trouble – Psalm 88:3-5
When it seems like the light at the end of the tunnel is an oncoming train. When you are feeling overwhelmed with trouble. Take your complaint to God.
But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us. (2 Cor. 4:7 NIV)
Studies from the book of the Psalms
When it seems like the light at the end of the tunnel is an oncoming train. When you are feeling overwhelmed with trouble. Take your complaint to God.
In the midst of a dry and parched time, David had two responses. He was thirsting for God. And he rejoiced and glorified God. Such a good example for us.
Are you, like Moses, willing to stand in the gap, pleading with God on behalf of the lost. Those that are in danger of experiencing the wrath of God?
No matter how challenging life may become, never forget who God is and his care for you. Give thanks to him and bow down in worship to your creator.
In the midst of the turmoil of this world, there is a place of security. David’s cry to “lead me to the Rock that is higher than I” is his response.
Join with David in letting the praise of the Lord always be on our lips. Worship him when alone. And worship him when gathered with other believers.
As Christians, how should we respond to the frightening headlines we see everyday? The psalmist tells us that God is our refuge & strength, So do not fear.
It is only natural to respond in fear when threatened. But those who are God’s should be able to say with David, “When I am afraid, I will trust in God.”
How lovely is your dwelling place oh Lord. I love to join together with God’s people to worship him. And even more, someday, to come into his presence.
Giving thanks to the Lord should be a constant state of mind for the believer. He has done so much for us, and we have so much to be thankful for.
