John MacArthur, Psalms Introduction;
“The basic theme of Psalms is living real life in the real world, where two dimensions operate simultaneously: 1) a horizontal or temporal reality, and 2) a vertical or transcendent reality. Without denying the pain of the earthly dimension, the people of God are to live joyfully and dependently on the Person and promises standing behind the heavenly /eternal dimension. All cycles of human troubles and triumphs provide occasion for expressing human complaints, confidence, prayers, or praise to Israel’s sovereign Lord.”
Sometimes we think God has forgotten about us, but NEVER!! He will never leave us or forsake us (ala Heb 13:5)! So, let’s sing in thankfulness to Him based on that truth alone!
