Psalm 30
ICC’s AM (10/9/21)
I. Introduction
1. Prayers
i. Grant us understanding of your word today, Father
ii.
And grant us by your holy spirit how we be doers of the word and not hearers only.
2. Catch- Comfort is not bad thing, but the goal of being comfortable can be spiritually deadly
i.
The very quotable CS lewis once wrote
“I didn’t go to religion to make me happy.
I always knew a bottle of Port would do that.
If you want a religion to make you feel really comfortable, I certainly don’t recommend Christianity.”
ii.
Jesus did not lay out a comfortable call to discipleship, which is the process of following Jesus.
iii.
Writer Brett Mccracken points out:
To be a disciple of Jesus is to deny oneself (Matt.
16:24), to take up a cross (Luke 14:27), to be subject to persecution (John 15:20; 2 Tim.
3:12), to give up the creature comforts of home (Luke 9:58), to forsake the priority of family (Luke 9:59–62; 14:26), to be willing to give up all material possessions (Matt.
19:21; Luke 14:33), to be crucified with Christ (Gal.
2:20).
And this is just the beginning.[i]
iv.
And yet, when troubles disrupt our comfortable lives, do we not scream Why God, Why?
v.
But I’m going to try to remind you that this is a gift as God removes this weak support so that he can build something stronger
1.
He is the god of all comfort who comforts us in all our affliction
2. But its sometimes like a builder removing a rotten pylon that cannot support the structure.
To prevent its fall, it must be removed and replaced with something stronger
vi.
So let’s see how God lovingly removes our self-confident comforts
3. Outline of the passage helps us see the main point
i.
You know how stories have beginning, middle, climax, the end
ii.
In poetry there are things called Chiasms, from the Greek letter Chi, which look like an X
iii.
The beginning corresponds with the end, the next item with the item next to the end, and so on.
[ii]
A — Testimony of praise (1-3)
B — Reasons for praise (4-5)
C — Recognition of his failure (6-8)
B’ — Reasons why God should save (9-10)
A’ — Testimony of Praise (11-12)
iv.
This helps us see the main point is the center.
This is not a praise Psalm about being rescued from his enemies
v.
This is a Psalm about David being resecured from himself
So let’s see
II.
The kind of praise that keeps you from SELF-confidence
1.
Your praise should Show others God (title-5)
i. Explanation
1.
The purpose of this Psalm is the temple (Title)
a.
The title is an important part of the Psalm that we cannot just jump over because it tells us why it was written
