[upbeat music] Hey, Bible readers. I'm Tara-Leigh Cobble, and I'm your host for The Bible Recap. We covered seven psalms today. One of my favorite parts about Psalm 43 is how David preaches the truth to himself. He's struggling and he feels far from God, but he speaks reminders of the truth to his own soul in verse five, "Why are you downcast, O my soul, and why are you in turmoil within me? Hope in God, for I shall again praise Him, my salvation and my God." David tells his heart and mind what to do. This is exactly the kind of thing Moses told the Israelites to do in tough times, to remember who God is and what He has done. David is putting Moses' words into practice hundreds of years later. In Psalm 44, we see that the writers, the sons of Korah, are even relying on the things God has done for their ancestors, not just themselves personally, as a source of praise. They remember that God is the one who grants victory, not a man's strong arm or a sword or a bow, especially since sometimes Israel didn't even take weapons to war at all. Remember back when Moses warned the Israelites against three kinds of sinful thinking? One was fearful thought, and two were prideful thoughts. In Deuteronomy 8, Moses addressed the second kind of prideful thought by saying, "Beware lest you say in your heart, 'My power and the might of my hand have gotten me this wealth.'
