Psalm 60:1 You have rejected us, God, and burst upon us; You have been angry—now restore us!
I love that David is not afraid to be real and honest with God about his feelings. That’s sometimes hard for me, and usually it takes some serious, layered defeats—one after another after another—for me to get to that level of honesty where I can admit my anger and say, “Really, God? I don’t understand. Why? Why? Why?”
Psalm 60:5 Save us and help us with Your right hand, that those You love may be delivered.
Thankfully, God never leaves me in that state of despair, and while I’ve never gotten an answer to the question why, He always brings me around to a space where I can honestly say: “I don’t understand this and I don’t like it, but I trust You and know that You love me and mine more than I can even fathom; You are good and loving; You have a plan to work all things for my good and Your glory.”
Psalm 60:11 Give us aid against the enemy, for human help is worthless.
Lord, Thank You for this day and this scripture. Thank You that You are big enough to handle all of the emotions You gave me. Thank You for the comfort of Your sovereignty and love, even when I don’t understand Your ways. Draw me closer. Always. Amen.
Psalm 60:12 With God we will gain the victory, and He will trample down our enemies.
Have a blessed day.
I am continually blessed by what God places on your heart. And I believe that many of my comments to your posts over time have echoed the same thread; however, this morning I heard anew. What a blessing to walk so closely with HIM that you have no self-imposed barriers. Being REAL before your Father is about as precious as it gets and I would imagine that is when we are most malleable. Thank you my friend for sharing.
Thank you, sweet friend.
