Psalms 36 - 65: Earth-Tamer and Ocean-Pourer

The Psalms cover the gamut of human emotion, from joy and happiness to fear, death, and despair. Part of the message of the Psalms is that we can be honest with God and tell him everything we think and feel. Nothing is off limits!
- A hiding place:  "God is a safe place to hide, ready to help when we need him" (Psalm 46:1).
- Don't neglect to share your story:  "Tell the next generation detail by detail the story of God" (Psalm 48:12-14).
- Sorry, Donald Trump:  "Don't be impressed by those who get rich and pile up fame and fortune--They can't take it with them; fame and fortune all get left behind" (Psalm 49:16-19).
- You hear me when I cry:  "Ever tear entered in your ledger" (Psalm 56:8)
- First love:  "God the one and only--I'll wait as long as he says. Everything I need comes from him" (Psalm 62:1-2).
- David comes up with poetic names for God:

• Earth-Tamer
• Ocean-Pourer
• Mount-Maker
• Hill-Dresser
• Muzzler of Sea Storm and Wave Crash

Elena's verse of the day:  "Trust God, my friends, and always tell him each of your concerns. God is our place of safety" (Psalm 62:8).
