We live in a world that tells us to smile, keep calm, and carry on. But from the moment we’re born, our lives are marked by tears, sorrow, and questions without neat answers. This morning we come to one of the darkest Psalms in the Bible, Psalm 88. Unlike most Psalms, it ends without resolution: “Darkness is my closest friend.” We reflect on why this Psalm of lament is in God’s Word and how even in our deepest darkness, he has not left us without hope.

The first in a categorical series on the Psalms. Theme: All mankind is called to praise the Lord for his love and care Points: 1. Look Up 2. Look Around 3. Look to Christ
