psalm 137 & 139

the last 2 weeks of the psalm series at church have been 137 & 139. listen here- http://riversidecommunitychurch.org/sermon-downloads.php

what struck me most about the message from 137 was the encouragement that "we can entrust our most intense emotions to God who knows them & takes them most seriously."

from 139, i was refreshed especially by the explanation of vs. 23- "search me & know my heart... & lead me in the way everlasting" (a reframing of the first vs.-"you have searched me & known me"). "it's the cry of a lover who wants to be sought, known fully, & still loved."
