How To Get Up When You Are Down
David Davis
Psalm 42:5-8
Psalm 42:5-8 - ‘‘Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted in me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him for the help of his countenance. (6) O my God, my soul is cast down within me: therefore will I remember thee from the land of Jordan, and of the Hermonites, from the hill Mizar. (7) Deep calleth unto deep at the noise of thy waterspouts: all thy waves and thy billows are gone over me. (8) Yet the LORD will command his lovingkindness in the daytime, and in the night his song shall be with me, and my prayer unto the God of my life.’’
Psalm 147:3-4 - ‘‘He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds. (4) He telleth the number of the stars; he calleth them all by their names.’’
Do you ever get down? Down in the dumps? Do you ever get depressed? If you are human you do. Somebody has said that the seven ages of man are these: SPILLS -DRILLS -THRILLS -BILLS -ILLS -PILLS -WILLS In almost every one of these ages and stages, it is possible to get depressed. National Institute of Mental Health said -’’Depression is a billion dollar a year industry.’’ Eight million Americans are so depressed that they are unable to go to work and are under the care of a doctor. Depression is feeling listless - passive - a feeling of sadness - nothing to feel good about - a constant state of hopelessness. An idea that no one cares and if they do care - then they just don’t understand. Thank God the Bible tells us how to get up when we are down. Lost people are not the only ones who get depressed.
Moses - Jonah - Elijah - John the Baptist - Jeremiah all dealt with depression.
Winston Churchill said, ‘‘Never give up!’’ But he often got depressed and called his depression ‘‘a black dog that just followed him around.’’ Charles Haddon Spurgeon was given to fits of despondency.
