Life is fleeting—like a breath or shadow compared to eternity. In this study of Psalm 39, Dr. John explores how David grapples with life's apparent meaninglessness while suffering under God's discipline. Yet this isn't depressing but hopeful. When God strips away what we hold dear, He's redirecting our hope from this temporary world to Him alone. Dr. John shows how David teaches us to live as sojourners passing through this world with God as our guide, finding joy in our brief time here.Reasons for Worship: In a world of political turmoil, personal struggles, and the apparent prosperity of evil, where should believers place their trust?

From David’s escapes to his reflections on the wicked, these psalms offer practical wisdom for trusting God, finding hope in desperate circumstances, and keeping faith when evil seems to prevail. This series brings both comfort and challenge, pointing to the God who is completely trustworthy in every season.
