i'm so glad that david was able to get some of his material into the bible. hehe...:) when i read his psalms, i'm so thankful. he holds nothing back. when he's got questions, he asks them. doubts?...he raises them. frustrations?, hurts?, fears?...yep, he holds nothing back.
but you know what else he has?...praises.
his "get real" also affords him the opportunity to see miracles.
he gets to see god trace his finger across the eternal lifeline.
here's one that i stumbled across the other morning. it helped me to remember to keep my perspective wide and open when it's tempting to get narrow. why?...because squinting in the times of questioning can make us forget all to quickly the array of god-moments where he whispers, "i'm here. i've got you. i'll never let go."
Psalm 13
For the director of music. A psalm of David.
1 How long, O LORD ? Will you forget me forever?
How long will you hide your face from me?
2 How long must I wrestle with my thoughts
and every day have sorrow in my heart?
How long will my enemy triumph over me?
3 Look on me and answer, O LORD my God.
Give light to my eyes, or I will sleep in death;
4 my enemy will say, "I have overcome him,"
and my foes will rejoice when I fall.
5 But I trust in your unfailing love;
my heart rejoices in your salvation.
6 I will sing to the LORD,
for he has been good to me.
