I love the way the Psalmist speaks to the soul. So often, we think we should just feel things. We wait until we feel right, and if we don't feel a certain way, maybe we don't pray or serve or go out of our way. We let our feelings dictate our actions.
The Psalms are consistently telling us to lead our hearts. They're reminding their heart and soul of God's promises and God's faithfulness, and leading their heart into a place where they trust God, and then they base their lives on that. We can lead our hearts. We can teach our souls. If we consistently point ourselves towards God's faithfulness, then we'll find that we feel like pursuing God more than if we just passively wait for a feeling to lead us closer.
