Why are you depressed, O my soul? Why are you upset? Wait for God! For I will again give thanks to my God for his saving intervention. (Psa. 42:5 NET) https://accordance.bible/link/read/NET#Psa._42:5

But we are not of those who shrink back and are destroyed, but of those who have faith and preserve their souls. Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. (Heb. 10:39–11:1 ESV)

They traded their majestic God for the image of an ox that eats grass. (Psa. 106:20 NET) https://accordance.bible/link/read/NET#Psa._106:20

How easy it is to take our eyes off of Christ and look for our salvation in some incredibly silly place, or person. 

Let the whole earth fear the LORD. Let all who live in the world stand in awe of him. For he spoke, and it came into existence. He issued the decree, and it stood firm. The LORD frustrates the decisions of the nations; he nullifies the plans of the peoples. The LORD’s decisions stand forever; his plans abide throughout the ages. (Psa. 33:8–11 NET) https://accordance.bible/link/read/NET#Psa._33:8

Fools say to themselves, “There is no God.” They sin and commit evil deeds; none of them does what is right. God looks down from heaven at the human race, to see if there is anyone who is wise and seeks God. Everyone rejects God; they are all morally corrupt. None of them does what is right, not even one! (Psa. 53:1–3 NET)
