My senior pastor, James M. Boice, has been preaching through the Psalms for years. Psalm 150 is all about praising God, and one would expect that we would have had quite a praising time, and we did. This unexpected death made the contrast between praising the Lord and feeling sorrow at the realities of life real to me.
Life is a struggle.
And we all independently struggle with different things. And then there is Psalm 150, in the midst of our struggles, praise . I confess I am not sure, save to say, rest in Christ. Unexpectedness should be our watchword it seems. I never know what I am going to hear next.
