In the face of difficulties let us not lose heart; let us not grow weary of fighting for justice; let us not stop working to build God’s kingdom; let us not lose hope. It is hope that gives us the resilience we need, the strength to continue the work God has called us to do, and the joy to testify to God’s goodness. A great psalm to turn to as an act of resistance to the fear that may be growing around us is Psalm 98. This post includes the psalm adapted from the New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition, and divided between a number of speakers as part of a conversation.
This article contains a list of contemporary songs around the theme of life. Dietrich Bonhoeffer reminds us that the psalms freely ask for life, health, peace, and earthly goods—not as selfish desires, but as signs of God’s gracious fellowship (Psalms: Prayer Book of the Bible, 2022). Jesus, himself, offers abundant life and daily provision (John 6:35; 10:10). These earthly blessings point us to eternal life—knowing God and Jesus Christ (John 17:3)—where every good gift finds its true fulfillment.
