A Journey Through the Psalms: Reflections for Worried Hearts and Troubled Times
Preaching the Psalms Cycles A, B, C
Most people spend their lives hungering after praise. Children thirst for it from parents, family, teachers, and friends. Young adults warm to its glow as they take on professional responsibilities and enter into adult relationships. As the midlife years approach, men and women are nourished by praise that comes as a result of committed and long-term relationships. Even in old age, praise continues to matter a great deal. Many people, of course, learn to live without praise, but it's a bleak existence.
