Embracing a Lifestyle of Worship: That spirit of trust, as it grows within us helps us to then recognize that Worship is not merely an event but a way of life—a continual outpouring of gratitude and praise to the God who sustains us. So, embrace a lifestyle of worship! Embrace a daily surrender of your heart to the One who is worthy of all praise.

Yet, in the midst of despair, there is hope. For our God is a God of redemption and restoration. He does not leave us in our sorrow but reaches out with His tender mercy and grace to lift us up from the pit of despair. He turns our mourning into dancing, our wailing into songs of joy. He replaces our sackcloth with garments of praise.

Ultimately, our journey through disorientation requires surrendering to God’s will and submitting our lives to His guidance. Jesus Himself exemplified this surrender in the Garden of Gethsemane, praying, “Father, if you are willing, remove this cup from me. Nevertheless, not my will, but yours, be done” (Luke 22:42). When we relinquish control and trust in God’s perfect plan, we find peace amidst the storm.

Since Jesus has come, is the Old Testament even relevant ? What difference does the coming of Jesus Christ make to the meaning of a psalm? – That’s a great question and a really big challenge too.
The psalms were written before Christ came. But now he has come. The Incarnation has happened, the Lord has lived a flawless human life, he has died his atoning death to pay the penalty for sinners, he has been raised in his body and ascended to the Father’s right hand on high. This makes a huge difference, right?? Well, yes, actually it makes a massive difference.
