What to do when you are overwhelmed #

Psalm 102:1-12

Introduction

The Psalmist is overwhelmed here, but not because of a personal problem. It would seem in looking at it all, the Psalmist is concerned primarily with a national issue.

It would do us good, to be so heartbroken, grief stricken over the sin of our country, that we had this kind of a heart!

The Struggle is Real #

Psalm 119:25-32

Introduction

The first verse sets the tone of this section:

Psalm 119:25 — My soul cleaveth unto the dust: quicken thou me according to thy word.

The Psalmist opens with the weakness and sorrow of his flesh, and his need to be quickened. The Word quicken means to make alive, to revive, or to make alive in a spiritual sense. The flesh, and this world will bring sorrow! Living in the flesh will bring sorrow, as the Psalmist describes. The world often tries to drown that sorrow with alcohol. They try to hide from that sorrow with drugs, pleasure, and many other things. The problem is that all of those solutions are temporary, and only hide that sorrow for a short time. The only real hope, is turning to God, and being quickened, made alive by Him! Asking him to save us!
