Oh Renee,
your comment is helping me to put this all together, the message of this Psalm. Yes, the “relationship” is the SOURCE of joy.

Janet, that was one of the most beautiful things I have ever read.
And what insight, on the word disappointment, “deprived of engagement”.
Much, much food for thought.

Hie Dee and all sisters of comfort

Yesterday was Homecoming Day @ church. The Presence of God was evident. I sung Be Still My Soul all the way thru during my personal worship time at home and the lst line of the last stanza jumped at me.
‘Be still my soul, the song of praise begin’. I stood in the ‘court of praise’ (with the rest of the choir) and sang ‘I Call You Faithful’.
Yesterday marked an end to a leg of my spiritual journey. I’m done walking a very dark path. Here’s the final section of Ps 30 from my perspective.

C.Faithful, You transformed my dismal situation into a darling celebration of Your love and mercy.
You have removed my clothes of captivity-deception, dominion of sin, hopelessness, insanity, and insecurity-and now I wear Your goodness, peace, joy, power, hope, faith, and truth.
For the rest of my days I will magnify Your Precious Name.
Thanksgiving will flow continually.

Nancy Lee DeMoss says: “When our lives are all roses and no thorns, we tend to be spiritually complacent. We neglect serious self-examination and confession. But affliction has a way of stripping away the stubborn deposits of selfishness that build up in the course of everyday life.”

B. Psalm 30: 4-10 PRAISE THE LORD THAT HIS CHASTENING LEADS TO RENEWAL
Dear God, You have proven yourself faithful in my life over & over again. You have taught me to trust You no matter how things look at the moment. Each time You put me in the furnace of affliction, I come out praising you for your steadfast love and goodness. I can truly see that “All things work together for my good” according to Romans 8:28.

I love how many of you have commented on the power of music — leading perfectly into the next post I’m working on as we head into Chapter 3.

Hello Precious Sisters:
I haven’t been on here in a week! I’ve been doing my daily time with my Lord, and reading Dee’s emails. I also received the “God of all Comfort Study Guide” w/Amy Shreve’s CD. What a blessing! I’ve listened to it over & over again. How did she know to put all my favorite hymns…ones that have sustained me through so much…on one CD?! I feel truly “kissed” by God as I soak it all in.

I’ve read all you posts, and psalm 30. There is so very much in these verses!

A. Psalm 30:1-3 PRAISE GOD FOR HIS HEALING GRACE
Thank you, Father, for guiding me through all the dark times. As I look back over my years of following you, I see myself as a blind person being led by my precious Savior’s nail-scarred hand: through the landmines Satan has put in my path; past the roadblocks to peace built with my own hands; over the mountains of doubt looming before me. Praise You for Your patient guidance!

I pray you each have a Sabbath rest, a time to draw near and sense His presence in worship and through the day. Thank God for the Sabbath or we might go crazy!

If you have more insights, please share them. I won’t put up a new post until tomorrow sometime!
