Our suffering can be fertile ground for God to transform us, or it can also lead to incredible bitterness of soul, or something Dr. Larry Crabb has called a “demanding spirit”. This week we will talk about how Job developed a demanding spirit and how the gospel sets us free not to live a life of this dark bitterness.

In the hit movie Inside Out 2, we follow the life of Riley, a teenager in the throes of puberty. As she navigates life, we observe her internal processing through personified emotions like Joy, Sadness, and Anger. One such emotion, Anxiety, floods Riley’s mind with all the scary stuff that could happen. In one scene, this results in Riley experiecning a full-blown panic attack. If you’ve ever battled anxiety or cried aloud to the Lord amidst despair, this message on Psalm 77 is for you.

Reflection The exodus of Jesus is proclaimed to provide you hope amidst your trouble.

Through his exodus (i.e. death and resurrection), he has planned for your future.

Reading poetry can be difficult. When that poetry alludes to future events, it can be even more vexing. Yet the New Testament quotes the Psalms more than any other Old Testament book. So we seek to understand how these poetic songs foreshadow the coming of Christ and fill us with hope amidst our struggles.

Questions:

• Do you see the limitations of viewing God’s Word as simply an example to imitate or a law to follow?
• Is Jesus in his sleeping (i.e. death) and his waking again (i.e. resurrection) your hope when feeling under attack?
• Is Jesus more precious to you today as the True and Better King?

What gives inspiration to the Psalms? Is it David? Is it us? Now that the veil (2 Cor. 3:13–16) has been lifted, how might we read these texts with the clarity that Christ provides? In so doing, we see it’s not just David or we who at times feel forsaken, but Jesus who has been utterly forsaken for our sake. He has not hidden himself in times of trouble but bore the full weight of it, not our sin in part, but the whole!

Questions

• How does this psalm sing God’s grace over us?
