Psalm 57 is a song of lament from David as he fled from Saul. He hid in a cave but his refuge was in God. It is also filed with words of hope. On this All Saints we celebrate both the hurt of loss and joy of Faith, just as Davis did.

Though we to talk about the highest moment of our faith as being a “mountain top” experience, everything that enables us to ascend to the heights is found in the depth of the valleys.  We cannot live without the valley moments in life.  The 23rd Psalm reminds of God’s unshakable, immovable presence with us in the valley moments of life.

The Psalms are the songs of the soul that expressed the full range of life experiences of the Jewish faith. The 2nd century theologian Athanasius said of the book of Psalms, “It is my view that in the words of this book the whole human life, its basic spiritual conduct as well its occasional movements and thoughts, is comprehended and contained.” Todays’ sermon is an introduction into our series “Life in the Psalms” and an introduction to the Book of Psalms.
