Psalms 102:7

Are you familiar with sleepless nights? When you can count sheep all you want, but nothing happens? I've been there many times, both when I was struggling with depression and afterward. I'd like to share my experiences and thoughts with you in this upcoming series.

Psalm 103 is a typical Psalm of Praise. In this Psalm, the Psalmist is calling on the people of God to give thanks and praise to God for God’s past blessings, God’s present blessings, and God’s promised future eternal blessings.

Sometimes problems seem insurmountable, like a steep rock rising right in front of us. Where do we find help then? Psalm 121 helps us find the answer: “My help comes from the LORD, who made heaven and earth.”

God created us to find meaning in our lives. But we live in a broken world where we’re continually frustrated in our search. So, what’s the point of living life? This is the question the Teacher in Ecclesiastes is asking. At first, the message of this wisdom book seems to lead to despair, but in fact points to the hope of life found in God alone.
