Why Were You Born?
Helmut Thieleke in his book, How the World Began, suggests that before going to a play we ask some fundamental questions: Who is the Playwright? Who is the Chief Actor? What is the play about? But, he suggests, most people step out onto the stage of life without asking these fundamental questions. Psalm 8 tells us what our role on the stage of life is. Emil Brunner says: “The most powerful of all spiritual forces is man’s view of himself, the way in which he understands his nature and his destiny; indeed, it is the one force which determines all the others which influence human life.â€

The Sanctity Of Life
Many have wondered why the Christian faith has historically taken such a strong stand against abortion. Maybe you have wondered why so many Christians take it so seriously when there are other critical issues like the economy. Maybe you are a Christian and you have all the same questions. Well Psalm 139 has a lot to say about this. This Psalm takes you back to the time before you were born and tells you that God was personally, intimately and actively involved in your life, even then!

Psalm 16: Delighting in God
The Scriptures teach that the heart is the motivational drive shaft of life. Whatever we treasure, whatever we most highly value, whatever we think most significant will give form to our lives. We'll spend our limited resources pursuing joy in that thing. Therefore, we must learn to ravish our hearts with the excellencies of God in order to come to deeper joy and obedience. Psalm 16 - and many other Psalms - is about how to bring our hearts to delight and rest in God alone.

Renewal
A minister once introduced a message on Psalm 51 by saying: "Tonight we come to something which if you have it, even if your life completely blows up, it can be repaired. If you've got it, no matter how broken your life, no matter how severely broken, it can be made whole. But, I'm afraid to name it, because when you hear it, when I use the English word, I'm afraid a lot of you will say, ‘O, that. I already know about that.’†The word, the thing that he was talking about is repentance. That's what Psalm 51 is about: life renewal through radical repentance.

Psalm 42: Despairing
Life with God has seasons of great joy and seasons of great sadness. Though our faith tells us God is always near, our experience and our emotions often tell us otherwise. How do we respond when God seems distant and life seems futile? Listen to the way the psalmist deals with himself in Psalm 42 for some simple and helpful practical ideas.

My Soul Clings To You; Your Right Hand Upholds Me
One Scholar who wrote about Psalm 63 said that what verse 8 shows us is that between David and God there exists a “reciprocal relationship of active love". Now isn't that an amazing thing! A person just like you and me in a real relationship, a friendship with God? God is infinite and personal. He wants a real relationship with you and he offers you his friendship and faithful love.
