For the most part, these chapters were psalms of worship and celebration. 

Do you know Dennis Prager? He's been on the radio since 1982, and his show has been syndicated to hundreds of radio stations for decades. And he's had a syndicated newspaper column for even longer than his radio show, I think. And he's written several books, one of which is "Happiness Is A Serious Problem." On his daily radio show, every week he devotes an hour to discussing happiness. He calls it "The Happiness Hour". One of his major beliefs is that it is your responsibility, especially to the people around you, to be happy. And he says that you can become happy by acting happy. I am, of course severely over simplifying Dennis' thoughts, but you get the essence.

This We Should Do

We as believers have a responsibility to worship and praise God. And when you don't feel like it, do it anyway. And when you do, I can almost guarantee that you will begin to feel God's blessings, and you will actually feel like praising and worshipping. 

The psalms we read today can be used as a template, or even a verbatim script to get you started. David is so good pouring out his heart in song, both his broken heart and his soaring heart. And when you are feeling like you just can't bring yourself to rejoice in the Lord, I hope you will remember to turn to David for inspiration.

That's why God included the Psalms in Scripture, beloved.
