David knew that the very quality of his worship was not based on his own volition but on the object of his worship - the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Though our affections for God may wax and wane, His character is unchanging! We even see David speaking to his own soul, demanding of it, "Bless the Lord!"

What if my greatest disappointments, or the aching of this life, is the revealing of a greater thirst this world can't satisfy?

When you put biblical truth to the songs used in churches, you'll have the congregation leave singing the sermon. You'll have God's thoughts, things that are God-breathed, stuck in their heads. It's sad to think about a really catchy tune paired up with bad theology because that could, honestly, do a lot of damage in church.

Life is filled with things you don't expect, but the Bible tells us to respond by trusting God and continuing to worship him.

God has given you talents and opportunities. Seize them today -- not tomorrow.

Our emotions are made by God, yet they too must bow before Him

What if trials of this life, the rain, the storms, the hardest nights, are Your mercies in disguise?
