Teaching One Another in Psalms (Eph 5:19, Col 3:16) Exposition Two of the most intensely wonderful experiences available to human beings: the worship of God, the highest activity in which we can ever engage; and music, in the words of Luther, “a fair and lovely gift from God … next to the word of God the mistress and governess of the feelings of the human heart.”
1. How do they teach us? For example, Psalm 103:1-6,10 - We all experience these differently. The Psalms are written with this very thing in mind, because although circumstances change, our emotions and experiences are the same.
2. What do they teach us? God has taken the greatest saints and prophets of all time and recorded their inspired praise. “I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after my heart, who will do all my will” (Acts 13:22). It makes you wonder, “How did a man like that pray?”
They teach us how to praise the Lord rightly, and how we can also be men and women after God's own heart.
Conclusion The Psalms are meant to give us new emotions and righteous emotions. The word of God can change you, and warm your heart so that you can say with David, “I love the Lord, because….”
The psalms can lead us to new heights of living and obedience and faith which we would not be able to reach otherwise. Paul was a man who was mastered by the Psalms. And so he says, “The love of Christ constrains me.”
