Psalm 61 - Does God Feel Distant
Psalm 61 - Feeling Overwhelmed? Does God Feel Distant?
James Long, Jr.
Sundays in the Psalms / Psalm 61
The Psalmist feels far away from God (Psalm 61:1-2)
God hears you when you are in danger
God hears you when you are distant
God hears you when you are discouraged
The Psalmist turns to the “Rock” (Psalm 61:2)
The “Rock” is higher than the psalmist
As the psalmist did, we must be led to the “Rock”
The Psalmist reminds himself of the God in Whom he trusts (Psalm 61:3-4)
Metaphor # 1 - A refuge
Metaphor # 2 - A strong tower
Metaphor # 3 - A tent
Metaphor # 4 - Sheltering wings
The Psalmist prays that God will fulfill His promises (Psalm 61:5-7)
The Psalmist promises to praise God continually (Psalm 61:8)
