Psalm 13 (JICC)
Sermon Notes
Key Passage: Psalm 13
1 Corinthians 15:26
1 Samuel 14:29
1 Corinthians 15:50-58
PAIN
PRAYER
PRAISE
Sadness is the feeling
Grief is the condition
Lament is the expression
CSB: “Restore brightness to my eyes”
NLT: “Restore the sparkle to my eyes”
BUT God (Ephesians 2)
Dead in my tresspasses and sins … BUT GOD made us alive together in Christ
BUT I TRUST
“The moment we address our lament upward to the God and Father of Jesus, our prayer becomes something more than outpouring of human sorrow. It contains within itself, by the ministry of the Spirit of God, who groans in and through our prayers, the seeds of a future rescue and therefore even of present praise. For praise is the appropriation in the present of truths that will be consummated only in the future. We praise not because the present is triumphant but because the future is glorious.” —Christopher Ash, The Psalms: Volume 2
