Why are you cast down, O my soul,
    and why are you in turmoil within me?
Hope in God; for I shall again praise him,
    my salvation[c] and my God.

My soul is cast down within me;
    therefore I remember you
from the land of Jordan and of Hermon,
    from Mount Mizar. Psalm 42:5

The writer said he would remember God from the land of Jordan…

Do you have a special place that makes you think about God?

My soul is cast down within me;

My tears have been my food
    day and night,
while they say to me all the day long,
    “Where is your God?”
These things I remember,
    as I pour out my soul:
how I would go with the throng
    and lead them in procession to the house of God
with glad shouts and songs of praise,
    a multitude keeping festival. Psalm 42:3,4

How long has it been since you have been in a joyful procession to the house of God with glad shouts and songs of praise? If it has been too long what are you willing to do to make it happen?

    and lead them in procession to the house of God
with glad shouts and songs of praise,

Have you ever wandered away from God and found yourself wishing to go back? What was that experience like?

Morning Direction From Scripture 3-3-17

Day and night I have only tears for food,

while my enemies continually taunt me, saying,

“Where is this God of yours?”

4My heart is breaking

as I remember how it used to be:

I walked among the crowds of worshipers,

leading a great procession to the house of God,

singing for joy and giving thanks

amid the sound of a great celebration! Psalm 42: 3-4

Have you ever been in a situation where people looked at your life and mocked God because of the spot you were in? What did you do?
