How are you feeling?
The Psalms contain every emotion you can imagine. This big book of poems captures all of the very real parts of life. During this series, we will learn about how God made us feel all of the emotions but also gave us the ability to control them."
Staying close to God gives us joy!
In this psalm, David talks about the difference between people who choose God’s way and those who don’t. Choosing God’s way leads to the peace and confidence of trees planted by water. But choosing to ignore God’s way leads to chaos and confusion like leaves in the wind.
When I feel worried, I can turn to God for guidance.
