I've decided I really miss doing my Sunday Psalm posts that I used to do last year. I love reading the Psalms - it & Proverbs would have to be my favourite books of the Bible. I love the raw emotions that are displayed there!
How long, O Lord? Will you forget me forever?
How long will you hide your face from me?
How long must I wrestle with my thoughts
and every day have sorrow in my heart?
How long will my enemy triumph over me?
But I trust in your unfailing love;
my heart rejoices in your salvation.
I will sing to the Lord,
for He has been good to me.
Psalm 13:1-2 &5-6 (NIV)
I just love the contrast of David's emotions in this Psalm - even when we feel sad, depressed, isolated & abandoned by all (& everyone goes through times of these feelings), we can hold onto the hope of our salvation - this is the source of TRUE joy - be assured that the Lord Never Ever abandons His children!
