Loving God, Loving Others, Making Disciples

Psalm 30 – Be Thankful

O Lord, you have brought up my soul from Sheol; you restored me to life from among those who go down to the pit.

Psalm 30:3

In Psalm 30, David is remembering and thanking God for what He has done and who God is – even though things aren’t going well. One of the best ways of getting through those dry places is to, like David, enter a space of thankfulness. Remember what God has done in your past, how He has blessed you over and over again. Remember God’s nature as merciful, loving, just, righteous, gracious – He is for you, in your corner. And then tell others what He has done. This gets us out of isolation and moves us into relationships where we can spur one another on in the faith.
