All very important words of wisdom.
Great article. One thing I’m not sure I agree with: #9. David also penned many psalms of lament, which were a real part of the jews’ worship and I believe should be a PART (not the whole, just a part) of our worship today.
I struggle the most with no. 3. That’s me dragging along my identity in the “important” work I do. My I always find peace and rest in who God says I am…
I respect #9. I can tend toward discouragement, especially when I’m tired. It can be too easy for me to pick songs that stay in melancholy, so I’ve focused on making a story or journey with the songs. We might travel from a song about God’s holiness and majesty to His sacrifice for us. That would lead us to confession of sin and on to thanksgiving or commitment.
