The first section of Psalms has been called the Genesis Psalms.

They help us to realize that every good thing begins with God.

The Psalms provide a roadmap for the journey ahead.

In them, we learn to bring every emotion and experience

of life into the presence of God. Join Scott Pauley now as we study God's word together.

What is your go-to book of the Bible? When you need encouragement, when you need direction,

when you just need help, where do you turn? That probably is different for everyone, but I would

say that the number one answer I hear from most people is the Psalms. I remember years ago hearing

someone say, a friend say, that we pillow our faith in the Psalms. There's a sense in which there is a great

rest, there is a great sense of God's presence as we read the great Psalms of the Bible. Now, the book

that is called Psalms contains for us 150 distinct Psalms.

They're all unique, and yet they're all the same.

They're unique in the sense that they deal with every range

of human emotion and experience.

From the highest mountain to the lowest valley,

from jubilation to great discouragement, It's really wonderful because what it does,

it shows us that at every stage and every season in life, at every struggle in life, you can bring

that to God. I love that thought, casting all your care upon Him, for He careth for you. So no matter

who you are or where you are or what

you're dealing with today you can usher your emotion and your experience into the presence of

god that's why i said they're all different they're unique but they're all the same they're the same

in the sense that they help us bring our lives into the light of God's presence.
