The Perfect Pick-Me-
Upper
Psalm 42:1-11, 43:1-5
Espresso
… is a concentrated beverage brewed by forcing
a small amount of nearly boiling water under
pressure.
Introduction
• Psalms are
EMOTIONAL, THEOLOGICAL, an
d ARTISTIC EXPRESSIONS.
• Spiritual dryness may be the
result of LONELINESS. (vv5, 6, 9, 11)
• Your DRYNESS may be caused by
God’s seeming silence or
apparent absence. (vv3, 9, 10)
Espresso
… has more caffeine per unit volume than most
beverages, but the usual serving size is smaller
Thirsty Psalmist
Emotional Questions
• When will this be OVER? (42:2b)
• Where is GOD? (42:3b, 10b)
• Why has God FORGOTTEN me?
(42:9a)
• Why is this happening to ME?
(42:9b; 43:2c)
• Why has God REJECTED me?
(43:2b)
dryness by
Separation
Thirsty Psalmist
Theological Questions
• Why are you in DEPRESSION, O
my soul? (42:5a, 11a; 43:5a)
• and Why have you become
UNSETTLED within me?
(42:5b, 11b; 43:5b)
The Only Answer
• HOPE in God, for I shall PRAISE
Him (42:5c, 11c; 43:5c)
– Waiting for God to act in
accordance with His promise =
HOPE
– Responding to God’s
promise, presence and/or His
action = PRAISE
– The psalmist is thirsting for a
return to the praise state
Sweet Praise
Expressions
• O God, I MISS YOU (42:4)
– Recognize your need of God, not
the other way around
– Feel the weight, loss of
relationship with God
– Pour out your soul, empty it of
the junk you have swallowed
Sweet Praise
Expressions
• O God, I AM SORRY (42:7)
– Own your own sin and God’s right
to punish
– Appreciate His steadfast love in
discipline
– Cling to the Rock, the Living God
Sweet Praise
Expressions
• O God, I WILL FOLLOW YOU (43:3)
– Pray for deliverance, defense
– Follow light and truth given to you
– reEngage in forgiven worship
Conclusion
You who are thirsty, come drink
deeply of GOD
– This relationship is fashioned
often under pressure, near the
boiling point
– It has higher levels of “pick-up”
and energizing quality than any
other!

  • 12. Conclusion You who are thirsty, come drink deeply of GOD – This relationship is fashioned often under pressure, near the boiling point – It has higher levels of “pick-up” and energizing quality than any other!

Notes de l'éditeur

  1. Espresso is a concentrated beverage brewed by forcing a small amount of nearly boiling water under pressure through finely ground coffee beans. Espresso often has a thicker consistency than coffee brewed by other methods, a higher concentration of suspended and dissolved solids, and crema(meaning cream, but being a reference to the foam with a creamy texture that forms as a result of the pressure). As a result of the pressurized brewing process the flavors and chemicals in a typical cup of espresso are very concentrated. Espresso is the base for other drinks, such as a latte, cappuccino, macchiato, mocha, or americano. Espresso has more caffeine per unit volume than most beverages, but the usual serving size is smaller—a typical 60 mL (2 US fluid ounce) of espresso has 80 to 150 mg of caffeine, little less than the 95 to 200 mg of a standard 240 mL (8 US fluid ounces) cup of drip-brewed coffee.[1]

Espresso is the base for other drinks, such as a latte, cappuccino, macchiato, mocha, or americano. Espresso has more caffeine per unit volume than most beverages, but the usual serving size is smaller—a typical 60 mL (2 US fluid ounce) of espresso has 80 to 150 mg of caffeine, little less than the 95 to 200 mg of a standard 240 mL (8 US fluid ounces) cup of drip-brewed coffee.[1]
  3. 1. There is a thirsty desire to meet up, appear before, go and see God = spend time with Him again.When shall I come and appear before God? (KJV, NASB, ESV) or When can I go and meet with God?

There is a thirsty desire to be remembered by God = return to favor with God (see also 42:4, 6)4. There is a thirsty desire to have a security (relatiosnhip) with God = MY ROCK! (42:9a), the One in whom I take refuge (43:2a) or have strength (NIV, CEV)The “forgetting” seems out of character with God. I have in the past depended on You, and now… ? What gives?!!The oppressors seem to be winning. They seem to be driving the psalmist deeper into depression.And the question is why? Or why haven’t you shown up again? Or Why haven’t you silenced these critics?5. There is a thirsty desire for a return to acceptance (restoration of relationship)Why has God rejected? SIN? Sin separates us from God.Sin exposes us to natural consequences, bondage.
