Awake My Soul (A Study in the Psalms) Series || It has been said that the Psalms give us "a song for every sigh of the soul" (Donald Whitney, Praying the Bible). Indeed, it seems that the full breath of human emotion and experience is captured in the pages of this ancient songbook of the Hebrew people. In this series, we focus on how the Psalms engage our emotions by drawing attention to the character and attributes of God. In Him, our souls are awakened to truth, beauty, and hope in a world full of suffering. As we kick off this series in Psalms, Psalm 1 shows us 3 characteristics of the righteous man: avoids the ways of the wicked, love the Law of the Lord, and knows that the Lord knows.
