Creation's call to worship in Psalm 104

When life is hard and God seems silent, it can make you wonder if he really cares or if he is even there. In the middle of pain and heartache, learning to lament protects our heart from the temptation to cynicism and unbelief and opens the door to deeper intimacy with God instead.

Our faith in God and his promises must regularly be renewed. Especially in seasons and events of our lives that cause us legitimate fears and concerns. Psalm 46 is a song that has been sung by the people of God for centuries to renew and refocus their faith.

Without missing a beat, David goes from thanksgiving for God’s deliverance to crying out for help. David’s experience in one crisis sets him up for the next. We can learn from David’s experience as well in how to wait on the Lord well.

When change reminds you of your own morality, hope in the immortal God.
