Synopsis

Psalms is largely a book of experience. Many of these experiences can be amazingly similar to your own experiences, making them relevant and meaningful to you. Many times, circumstances start out unhappy, or off key and end up bringing great blessings. So also, many Psalms begin in a minor key, and conclude with notes of praise and worship. Dr. Armerding adds insights from his own personal life to illustrations from the Psalms and other parts of the Bible to draw real truth and application for you. “Utter Confusion, Unutterable Peace" is one of the thirty-five meditations drawn from the book of Psalms. In Psalm 46, the psalmist presents a view of world conditions that seem to have been written only yesterday. Reasons for unrest are not stated, but since God is neither the author of confusion nor disorder, man must assume all blame for pollution, confusion, and unrest that exists in our present world. Dr. Armerding says the psalmist takes the gloomy opening of Psalm 46 and turns it into notes of praise to our Lord. The psalmist reminds us that God is our strength and help in times of trouble. It is in God that we have anchor and can remain steadfast during these troubled times. The beautiful words of the psalmist plus Dr. Armerding’s own insights make these meditations worth reading. They will lift your spirits and show you how unhappy circumstances can turn to praises for the Lord.
