Praise and Worship:

We Are Messengers



I've been trying to make sense of the sorrow that I feel

Holding on for life to the only thing that's real

I've only scratched the surface, I've barely had a taste

But just a glimpse draws my heart to change

And one sight of you lays my sin to waste

I don't need to see everything just more of you



(chorus)

Take it all, take it all away

Magnify no other name

Open up, open up my eyes

To you



Take it all, take it all away

Magnify no other name

Open up, open up my eyes

To you



My sight is incomplete and I've made you look small

I've been staring at my problems for way too long

Re-align where my hope is set, until you're all that's left

But just a glimpse draws my heart to change

And one sight of you lays my sin to waste

I don't need to see everything just more of you



(chorus)

Take it all, take it all away

Magnify no other name

Open up, open up my eyes

To you



Take it all, take it all away

Magnify no other name

Open up, open up my eyes

To you



Oh God be greater, than the worries in my life

Be stronger, than the weakness in my mind

Be louder, let your Glory come alive

Be magnified



Oh God be greater, than the worries in my life

Be stronger, than the weakness in my mind

Be louder, let your Glory come alive

Be magnified



(chorus)

Take it all, take it all away

Magnify no other name

Open up, open up my eyes

To you, to you



Take it all, take it all away

Magnify no other name

Open up, open up my eyes

To you, to you

You say no amount of untruths can separate us

Hope For The Downcast Soul Part 1

Dr.Diana Brevan







Psalms 42:1-11 KJV To the chief Musician, Maschil, for the sons of Korah. As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God. My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God: when shall I come and appear before God? My tears have been my meat day and night, while they continually say unto me, Where is thy God? When I remember these things, I pour out my soul in me: for I had gone with the multitude, I went with them to the house of God, with the voice of joy and praise, with a multitude that kept holyday. Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted in me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him for the help of his countenance. O my God, my soul is cast down within me: therefore will I remember thee from the land of Jordan, and of the Hermonites, from the hill Mizar. Deep calleth unto deep at the noise of thy waterspouts: all thy waves and thy billows are gone over me. Yet the LORD will command his lovingkindness in the daytime, and in the night his song shall be with me, and my prayer unto the God of my life. I will say unto God my rock, Why hast thou forgotten me? why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy? [10] As with a sword in my bones, mine enemies reproach me; while they say daily unto me, Where is thy God? [11] Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God.



I. INTRODUCTION—THE BLESSING OF THIS BOOK



-There is a great blessing in being able to hold and read the Book that you have in your hand. I realize that times have changed and that Bibles are now available on all sorts of electronic devices but there is nothing like holding a hardcopy of the Bible.



I heard a preacher say something that was very disturbing once and yet after hearing him out; I believe what he had to say. He said that after almost 30 years of preaching, he had discovered that we only get to preach from passages in the Bible once.



-He meant that because of the time factor involved in preaching that most diligent preachers who want to preach their way through the entire Bible will only pass through a particular passage because of the shortness of this vapor of life. Therefore, he pointed out, that it was crucial that we do our dead-level best to preach every time with a pure heart, pure motive, and pure mind.



-I must confess that when I began to meditate on what he said, I again had to make the determination to treat every passage of this book with a sense of sacred honor.



-The blessing of the Book and of anointed preaching is that it helps us to move along the Christian walk for the Lord.



• It encourages us to move forward.

• It challenges us to prayer.

• It urges us to worship.

• It confronts our sin.

• It helps us to battle the whims of our flesh.

• It breathes hope into us when we are under attack.

• It opens our eyes to the greatness of God and the power of His salvation.

• It softens the blows of disappointment.

• It molds our minds into the greater plan of God.



-With this Psalm, it helps to breathe hope into a downcast soul.



II. PSALM 42



A. Five Books in the Psalms



-If you have one of the Search for Truth Bibles, you will notice something written above Psalm 42. You will note that it has the caption that gives BOOK II, Psalms 42-72. The Psalm we have just read comes at the very beginning of Book II of the Psalms. In fact there are five books of the psalms and the Jews commonly referred to them as the psalter. This was what they sang when they came to worship.



-The longer you live for the Lord, the more of these Psalms you will discover to be of great value to you. In fact, I believe that some of them you will come to treasure.



• Book I—1-41.

• Book II—42-72. Completed 300 years after the first book. Hezekiah comes along and is the force behind putting them together.

• Book III—73-89. You will note that they are not chronologically in order but rather by a theological theme.

Book IV—90-106. This section focuses on Israel’s relapse and recovery in the wilderness.

• Book V—107-150. Revivals began to take place in this segment as Israel returns from their exile and rebuild the walls and the temple in Jerusalem.



B. A Maschil



-The superscription above this psalm notes to us that it is a maschil. This means that this is a psalm of instruction. The instruction to be given is the understanding the God can be trusted during the tough times of life.



-The other maschil psalms are scattered throughout the psalter: 32; 42; 44; 45; 52; 53; 54; 55; 74; 78; 88; 89; 142. All of them have some kind of instruction attached to them. For instance, Psalm 32 is instruction given concerning forgiveness.



-The author of this psalm is unknown but we can know that it was written for the sons of Korah and was intended for the director of music. The sons of Korah were Levites who were the descendants of Kohath, the father of Korah (1 Chron. 6:22-48; 9:17-32; 2 Chron. 20:19).



-These were the men who produced the music while the Tabernacle was in the wilderness and after the construction of the Temple in Jerusalem (Num. 26:11).



C. Why Art Thou Cast Down, O My Soul?



-I would like to jump ahead to Psalm 42:5 and then backtrack through the rest of the Psalm. He asks the question, “Why art thou cast down, O my soul?”



-The psalmist pours out his soul to God during a time of duress. He is discouraged, he is downcast, and he feels a sense of hopelessness trying to choke the life out of his soul.



-The Hebrew word in that text is shah-kak which means to crouch or to bow down. It is the same word that is used in Job 38:40 to describe a lion in a crouched position waiting along the trail for its prey. The psalmist describes his soul in such a way that it has been bent down by the challenges and difficulties of life. As if a heinous lion has attacked his soul.



-He has come into contact with some very difficult trials. These trials have seemed to bring even greater agony to him than any he has ever faced. It is sort of like have a wound that needs treatment and some healthcare worker coming along and working with the wound that inflames the wound even more.



-Burn victims often experience this through the process of their own rehabilitation. They can have a second or third degree burn but the subsequent trips to the whirlpool for something called debridement makes it seem like the pain has to be endured all over again.



-The psalmist is expressing that kind of pain here. However, he is not in the throes of physical pain but in the clutches of some soul pain. Soul pain hurts even worse than physical pain. It seems to linger and there is nothing that can seemingly bring relief to soul pain.



-Soul pain is drawn out over months and sometimes even years.



• A fractured family relationship that has seethed for years.

• Wayward children who seem to mock God and everything their parents stood for.

• A nasty divorce battle that has children caught up in the middle.

• Having to contend with difficult people who seem to have it out for you.

• The loss of a job that you really were fulfilled by.

• The nagging pain of a physical ailment that will not heal.

• A limiting health condition that has seemingly put you on the sideline.

• Financial pressures that never seem to go away.

• A wrong path that was chosen and now it is taking years to get back to the starting point.

• A pastor who is run out of a church at no fault of his own.

• A saint who made a mistake but no one will let them forget it.

• A feeling that you have been overlooked for a position you would have excelled at.



-All of those matters can shut down our faith, our hope, and even our determination so that we become prey to all matters of the devices of the devil.



III. THE DIAGNOSIS OF A DOWNCAST SOUL



-If you were to go to the hospital with some kind of ailment, you would have to give them what we call the chief complaint.



• Where are you hurting?

• What does the pain feel like? Sharp? Dull? Throbbing?

• How long has it been going on?

• Are there things that cause this pain?



-All of these questions are leading up to helping us to get a diagnosis for the condition. We will probably draw some blood, maybe take some X-rays, perhaps do a CT scan, an MRI, or an ultrasound, and perhaps even a biopsy.



-We do these particular things to get a diagnosis so we can treat you so you will get better. All the way through Psalm 42 and the first verse of Psalm 43, there are reasons that we see into the diagnosis or the cause of a downcast soul.



A. An Absence from the House of God—42:1-2



Psalms 42:1-2 KJV To the chief Musician, Maschil, for the sons of Korah. As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God. My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God: when shall I come and appear before God?



-Many scholars feel like this was David describing his time of fleeing from Jerusalem as he ran from Absalom.



-Why the despair? Because . . . he has been separated from the house of the Lord. He had been forced to flee from Jerusalem where he regularly worshiped. He can no longer lead in the worship as he had in times past.



-He will have to remind himself to hope in God. There are times that you have to remind yourself to worship.



-Because David had been forced to leave; he literally felt himself to be cut off from the Lord. His greatest question is “when can I go and meet with God?”



-One of the causes of a downcast soul is an absence from the house of God. Whether many are willing to admit it or not, we find great bolstering in our soul when we come to the house of God routinely, regularly, and actively.



-In Luke 10, we find the parable of the Good Samaritan who brought the wounded man to the inn. The inn can be pictured as the house of God.



• The inn was a place of refreshment for weary travelers . . . The house of God brings relief to us in this valley of tears.

• The inn had an owner who attended the beaten man . . . The house of God has pastors, faithful ministers, godly saints who receive weary sinners to help them recover from the injuries of the world and the devil.

• The inn had a grand table of food in it . . . The house of God brings us the sincere milk of the Word and the strong meat of the Word.

• The inn was a desirable place for lodgers . . . The house of God is a place that saints long to go to and find rest for their souls.



-Our soul can very quickly become downcast when we do not regularly attend the house of worship. The psalmist is far from home and therefore he feels very far from God and anytime we feel that distance from God our soul can become downcast.
