Trusting God for a Better Tomorrow: A Study of the Psalms Book 1

Worry. Pride. Revenge. Jealousy. Trust. Betrayal. Rejection.

Have you ever found yourself swept away by any of
one or more of these emotions?
Perhaps you are overtaken by them all at once.

You are not alone. We are not alone.
David, perhaps the greatest king and military leader of his time lived, much of his life on the run from his enemies and mocked by his friends. He struggled in his faith and lived with emotional unrest. He questioned God about his painful circumstances. He wanted a better tomorrow.
Many years ago, tired of the tired pace I was keeping I decided to open my Bible and read the Psalms, one at time. Wounds from my past that never properly healed begin to mend. The unrest in my heart settled as peace grew roots and doubt turned to trust. Yes, my tomorrows were getting better. I learned tomorrows are better when:

• My future is not shaped by mistakes of the past
• My pain becomes a place our faith can grow
• My fear of God is stronger than my fears of the world
• My sorrow for sin is replaced with the freedom of forgiveness
• My fervor for revenge surrenders to God’s judgment
• My joy is found in things of God rather than the things of this world
