Psalm 51: We all make mistakes! We all know that we make mistakes and do not live up to God's standard. The good part is that God is just to forgive us when we ask him. We have to come to a place of repentance which mean asking to be forgiven and turning away from that sin and not living in it any longer. Praise to God that we are not enslaved by sin because of Jesus Christ.

Psalm 48: God is our guide for ever and ever. He never leaves us. We can depend on him always and he will not let us down. When we follow God he always leads us down the correct path. We have the perfect guide for our lives in God and we need to follow him forever and always.

Psalm 42: When we are downcast and feel like there is no hope how do we respond? Do we complain and sit in misery? Or do we praise God and give him glory even when things are not going our way. It is easy to praise God when life is easy and it is easy to think that with God everything in our life should be easy. That is not the case God himself suffered on the cross so that all of our sins can be forgiven. For us to think that everything should be easy is a little silly. When we change or thinking from complaining to praising though the tough times are not so tough, and we learn to lean on God and not our own understanding.
