So I think that it's really cool getting to read through the Psalms and just see how bold David is. I have been reading and I think the biggest thing that has stuck out to me is the idea of David having joy through all of his trials. If we were to look at every trial with a depressed look, we would walk around depressed our entire lives.
My pastor said that he gets irritated with Christians that just constantly say that they are depressed because they are "under attack." And this may be true, but this has made me mad forever. We are in the family of Christ and Jesus came down and gave his life for me. So what kind of respect are we giving him if we walk around like the world is just a boring depressing cold place.
As Paul says, I am the chief of sinners. I go through my days sinning at all times, but that does not make me a depressed person guys! I mean sure, at times I get down, but who doesn't? It's all about where you go from there. So if you are one of those people who just get down all the time whenever things are not going perfect, then you will be like that forever until you change. You see, when you decided to follow God, you stepped into a battle field so there will always be hard times, and if you get depressed when you are going through hard times, you will be depressed a lot.
I challenge you to look at David's stories and Psalms and see what you can learn from the way he approaches his problems, and God.
Have a great day everyone.
