Praising God Through the Pain

Psalms 135-150, Volume 9

De: Myron Powell

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

Praise, worship, thankfulness, and blessing Almighty God fill the lyrics of the final sixteen Psalms. But pain, prison, persecution, doubt, fear, and feeling overwhelmed are also woven into the psalmists’ words. Through it all, God protects, provides, and gives peace to His own. He is the Creator and able to do the impossible. God and His kingdom are everlasting, and His mercy endures forever. Therefore, if you ever need a reminder of why God is worthy of the highest praise, read Psalms 135-150.

My title for this book stems from Psalm 142:5-7, which is the exact middle of the final sixteen Psalms. These three verses illustrate the transformational shift that takes the psalmist from prison to praising God wholeheartedly. But, remember, as you read through these Psalms, the psalmists did not know how their experience would end. We have the luxury of knowing their history, but they did not. So, feel their faith as they cling to God’s Word. Experience their hope despite the anxiety of the unknown. Apply their lessons to your situation, and give God the superlative praise He alone is worthy to receive!
