Our Crinkled Emotions and God

Psalm 6:3-4 and a Lone Faded Leaf, Fontenelle Forest, Bellevue, Nebraska.A lone faded fall leaf backlit by the evening sun, Fontenelle Forest, Bellevue, Nebraska. Visual Bible Verse of the Day: Psalm 6:3-4 and troubled emotions before God

“Be gracious to me, O LORD, for I am languishing; heal me, O LORD, for my bones are troubled. My soul also is greatly troubled. But you, O LORD—how long?”  Psalm 6:3-4 (ESV)

Pouring Pure Emotions Before God

Sometime life makes us feel like we are a lone dry leaf left over from some long ago summer. We find ourselves crinkled, torn and alone.

Our emotions are real and the Bible does not cover up human emotions. The psalmist David’s real emotions must have made him feel crinkled and alone when he wrote Psalm 6. He poured out His feelings to God with raw honesty.

David sets an example for us here and in many other psalms. When life stinks, it’s okay to cry out to the Lord with pure, raw emotion. We have no need to worry about being too hard on God. He’s a big God. He can handle your pain. Cry out to Him. He is there for you.

Here are few psalms where David makes emotional pleas to God: Psalm 6, Psalm 22, Psalm 38, Psalm 42, Psalm 55 and  Psalm 56

God’s Light and Truth and His Holy Hill

Psalm 43:3 and Mountains at Dawn, San Isabel National Forest, Colorado.Mountains at dawn near Leadville, San Isabel National Forest, Colorado. Bible Verse of the Day: Psalm 43:3 light and truth

“O send out Your light and Your truth, let them lead me; let them bring me to Your holy hill and to Your dwelling places.” Psalm 43:3

God’s Light and Truth Lead to Eternity

Psalm 43 is a continuation of Psalm 42. The writer of the two Psalms lived in exile and longed for the destroyed Solomon’s temple that once existed in Jerusalem. Both psalms contain the passage, “Why are you downcast, O my soul? Why the unease within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise Him for the salvation of His presence.”

The Bible calls us all too put our hope in God. May we do that and also long for His light and truth to guide us. For God’s Light and His holy truth lead us to His eternal dwelling places.
