Normally, I do not give sermons titles; don’t ask me why, I just don’t. However, this Sunday’s message will be different, as I am giving it a title: “Back to the Place Where My Soul Finds its True Poise.”

I really hope you will be able to attend, as I do believe this is a very pertinent message.

The following is an excerpt: Most, if not all, of us have experienced those times when, for reasons unknown to us, the “wheels begin to run off our wagons.” During these times, it seems that everything that can go wrong goes wrong and we are losing our grip on life. If we should dare to be so honest, we would admit that we feel much like Job must have felt when he sat in sack cloth and ashes in the middle of the road.

Most importantly, we begin to feel that God has forsaken us, that He no longer loves us. We begin to feel what the Psalmist talks about in Psalm 73, that the God favors the evil and causes the righteous to suffer, that God is, therefore, being unfair.

When this occurs, we begin to focus on what we have done wrong, on how we have offended God, on what sins we might have committed, and, to be honest, we get angry at God (though we have a hard time admitting it). We are, thus, in that place where the soul has lost its poise.

The Question: How to we return our souls to that place of true poise?
