Psalms 42 & 43

Welcome to episode 199 of Grasp the Bible. In this episode, we continue our study in the Book of Psalms, covering chapter 42. Today, we will cover:

- The causes of spiritual depression and feeling far from God.

- How a godly person can win over depression.

- The depth of our need for the Lord.

Key takeaways:

· The depth of my need brings me to my knees and to the one I need.

· How a godly person can win over depression:

o He takes himself in his hand.

o He challenges himself of what should be done.

o He reminds himself of a great certainty.

Quotable:

· “Identify the lie you are believing and replace it with the truth of God’s word.”

· “Therefore, instead of looking sadly at the past as something I have lost. I will look to it as a foretaste of the many things yet to come.”

· “Is there a cure for Spiritual depression? Yes. But it is not in us. It is in God. The cure is to seek God's face, so ours will not be downcast, which is what the psalmist does.”

Application:

· Take yourself in your hand.

o Take responsibility for your spiritual fuel gauge.

· Challenge yourself to do what you know should be done.

o Hope in God. There is no lasting hope in anything else in this sinful failing world there never has been there never will be.

· Remind yourself of this certainty.

o God has not change and his purposes for me have not changed.
