Why Art Thou Cast Down?

“Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God.” Psalms‬ ‭42:11‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Why art thou cast down? Don’t let the cares of this world weigh you down. Don’t let the treasures of this world entangle your heart. Don’t idolize the troubles, cares and treasures of this world. Don’t magnify the temporary things. Choose to serve and honor God. Choose to honor Christ. Choose to place your hope in Him. Redirect your focus and place your trust in the Lord.

Shift your focus and surrender your heart to Christ. Let your soul praise Him, for He is the health of your countenance. Let your spirit praise Him, for He is the Restorer of your soul. Let every aspect of your life praise Him.

Let your faith crush and conquer every fear and failure. Choose to exalt Christ beyond your faults and shortcomings. Humble yourself before Him. Choose to lift up Christ above every worry and concern. Let Christ be exalted in every part of your life. 

Psalm‬ ‭42:11‬ ‭AMPC‬‬ declares, “Why are you cast down, O my inner self? And why should you moan over me and be disquieted within me? Hope in God and wait expectantly for Him, for I shall yet praise Him, Who is the help of my countenance, and my God.” ‭‭Place your hope in God and shift your expectation. Place your expectation in Him. Set and establish your expectation in Christ. 

Choose to wholly surrender to God’s Way of doing things. Let Christ completely heal your heart. Let Christ heal your soul. Let Jesus Christ make you whole. 

God is the One who created you. God is the One who formed you and shaped you. He knew you and had intimate knowledge of you before you were ever formed in your mother’s womb. So surrender your heart to the One who formed every part of you. 

Surrender your cares to Him. Don’t let the spirit of heaviness overtake you. Let the Light of Christ shine in you and through you. “Why am I discouraged? Why is my heart so sad? I will put my hope in God! I will praise him again— my Savior and my God!” ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭42:11‬ ‭NLT‬‬. Choose to praise Him again.
