Why Are You Cast Down, O My Soul?Psalms 42:1-11 There are several reasons why people fall into depression. Some have lost loved ones that are no longer with. Some have lost their health, no longer can they do what they used to do, some have lost their wealth,, and no longer can buy the things that they would like.

What Is the Measure of My Days?Psalms 39:1-13When to speak, when not to speak? Jesus taught, “Cast not your pearls before swine.” I believe he was saying, “Hold your words.

Lord, please grant us discernment today that we may be a blessing to others and what we say and what we don't say.”

The Law of the Lord Is PerfectPsalms 19:1-14When David looked up to the heavens, he could hear God speaking to him through creation.

The Lord Is My Rock and My FortressPsalms 18:1-6I will love thee is the first words of this psalm. David's love was more than a feeling. It was more than just a fact.

How Majestic Is Your NamePsalms 8:1-9David starts the Psalm by saying how excellent is thy name in all the earth. He also ends the song by saying how excellent is thy name and all the earth.

Anytime you force something, you're going to damage it, and a lot of times when we force something, we do it out of pure ignorance. Stop and think today what you're saying to others. Tone down the temperature; talk slower; you will be heard louder.

Jonah's Anger and the Lord's CompassionJonah 4:1-11Jonah acted in the most peculiar way instead of rejoicing over sinners repenting. He got angry. God blessed his enemy, and he got angry. It was not Jonah's great preaching ability. It was through the power of God‘s holy word that the people repented. Anger and resentment can lead to depression and suicidal thoughts, thinking little of yourself. Jonah was being selfish and sinful, not giving God the glory.

The People of Nineveh RepentJonah 3:6-10Oh, what a mighty and gracious God we serve! He forgives sinners when they confess and forsake their sin. The King of Nineveh repented of the evil, and God Almighty turned away from his wrath.

A Great Fish Swallows JonahJonah 1:17I have no problem with this story because I have faith in my God, the creator of the universe. Some would like to look at this story with scientific facts. I look at this story by faith and my God, knowing there's nothing too hard for God. Yes, Jonah was in the belly of the whale for three days and three nights. Jesus Christ. The son of God, declared this, and I believe the words of Jesus. What has God prepared for us?

Jonah Is Thrown into the SeaJonah 1:7-16Why hast thou done this? This question came not from godly men but ungodly men. You know that we are in sad shape when the world says to the Church, “Why hast thou done this?” The next question they ask is, “ What shall we do unto thee?” These questions will be repeated over and over again to godly people that flee from the presence of God. A New Testament example is the prodigal son.

Jonah Flees the Presence of the LordJonah 1:1-6Let us learn a few lessons from Jonah today. Don't flee the presence of God. It's a great honor to be asked by the king of glory to represent him. God could have used anyone, but he chose Jonah when God chooses you to do a task. For him, don't pass it on to someone else.
