The Psalmist Heart

When reading through the Psalms you realize that David is very transparent about his feelings. At time like in Psalm 22 he begins by asking God "Why have you left me, why have you forgotten me?" Doesn't it feel like that sometimes when the Lord is silent? But what is great is I can flip back a page or two and David is praising the Lord for delivering him because the Lord delights in David. And I can flip forward a few pages and David tells me how the Lord is his Shepard who makes him lie down in green pastures and restores his soul. This book of the bible is a reflection of mans heart, struggle, prayer and worship. It's not always good, like our lives... but can't you flip the pages back a few and see where God has blessed you and delivered you because he loves and delights in you. In the same way we will be blessed in the future pages of our life too. It's not always going to be dry, dryness is a season. Seasons help us grow and give us strength. I love the verse I have highlighted in this picture because even in David's cry that the Lord may have forgotten him he is still acknowledging that he is the Lords and he always has been!
