Tuesday: “From the Depths of the Earth”
Read Psalm 71:1-24. What did David imply when he asked God to bring him up “again from the depths of the earth” (Psalm 71:20, NKJV)?
In Psalm 49:1-20 we found a touching expression of hope in the resurrection, in contrast to the false assurance of the fool who trusted in his wealth. In Psalm 71:1-24, David seeks security and hope from God while surrounded by enemies and false accusers who say that God has forsaken him (Psalm 71:10-11).

Amid his trials, David finds comfort and assurance in recalling how God had cared for him in the past. First, he realizes that God had upheld him from birth and even took him out of his mother’s womb (Psalm 71:6). Then, he acknowledges that God had taught him from his youth (Psalm 71:17).
With the certainty that God was his rock and his fortress, David pleads with Him, “Be my strong refuge, to which I may resort continually” (Psalm 71:3, NKJV). “Do not cast me off in the time of old age; do not forsake me when my strength fails” (Psalm 71:9, NKJV). “O God, do not be far from me; O my God, make haste to help me!” (Psalm 71:12, NKJV). And then David adds, “You, who have shown me great and severe troubles, shall revive me again, and bring me up again from the depths of the earth” (Psalm 71:20, NKJV).
The expression “from the depths of the earth” could be understood literally as an allusion to the future physical resurrection of the psalmist. But the context seems to favor a metaphorical description of David’s condition of deep depression as if the earth were swallowing him (compare with Psalm 88:6 and Psalm 130:1). So, we could say that “it is primarily figurative speech, but also hints at a physical resurrection.” — Andrews Study Bible, p. 726, note on Psalm 71:20.
In the end, what’s important to grasp is that, whatever our situation, God is there, He cares, and ultimately, our hope isn’t found in this life but in the life to come — the eternal life we have in Jesus after our resurrection at His return.
| We all have had some terrible moments of discouragement. How, though, can focusing on the ways that the Lord had been with you in the past help you press on ahead in faith and trust in the moments when He seems far away? |
Amen!

Ways to Effectively Proclaim the Gospel to the Cities #sermon #shorts
Are you willing to help in the mission to the cities? Are you prepared to preach the gospel? This #short clip from the message, “How Can We Effectively Bring the Message to the Cities?” by Pastor Mark Finley

4.3 From the Depths of the Earth – THE OLD TESTAMENT HOPE | Pastor Kurt Piesslinger, M.A.
Series ON DEATH, DYING, AND THE FUTURE HOPE with Pastor Kurt Piesslinger, M.A.
4.THE OLD TESTAMENT HOPE
Death cannot be the last of the last…
Memory Text: Hebrews 11:17.19 – By faith Abraham, when put to the test, offered up Isaac. He who had received the promises was ready to offer up his only son. . . . He considered the fact that God is able even to raise someone from the dead—and figuratively speaking, he did receive him back.
4.3 From the Depths of the Earth
Nothing is so deep that God would not be able to get you out there.
My God bless you today and always.

Aunty, do you agree that you have to be SDA to be saved?

I learned, as every Adventist should, that this is the church with the whole truth. There are other churches that have parts of the truth. They may […] Source: https://atoday.org/do-you-agree-that-one-has-to-be-sda-to-be-saved/

Job did not question

Hold Fast Til I (Jesus) Come/s – Hymn 600. We find it is wise to believe and be
Standing On The Promises – Hymn 518.
We are reminded in
Hymn 136 – Good Christians, Now Rejoice (verse 3) that “ye need not fear the grave” as does our study on Monday. Christ has conquered the grave:
Hymn 166 – Christ the Lord Is Risen Today. The study also shows that we are to

David’s story (Tuesday) encourages us to remember The Rock and Fortress:
Hymn 506 – A Mighty Fortress because
God Will Take Care of You – Hymn 99.
Oh, what a day that will be
When We All Get To Heaven – Hymn 633.
To learn unknown hymns, you will find the accompaniment music for each one at: https://sdahymnals.com/Hymnal/
Another great resource is for when there is a hymn you wish to sing but can’t find it in your hymnal. Go to https://www.sdahymnal.org and in the search bar type a special word in that is in the hymn. I am sure you will be amazed at the help you will be given.
2 Timothy 2:15 KJV – “Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.”
