Read: Ps. 22-32
David had a gift of saying what we feel and want to say but can’t come up with adequate words.
Psalm 22 is the verse Jesus was referring his disciples to on the cross when he said the first line of it. The whole Psalm is his cry from the cross. God never forsake Jesus on the cross. God created evil so to think that he couldn’t look at sin is not accurate. God looks at sinners everyday and extends his love and forgiveness. David’s life mirrored the Lord’s so he could pray what Jesus would pray.
Psalm 23 is an all time favorite. Even non-Christians have this one partly memorized. What a wonderful shepherd we have in the Lord. He will let us rest in green meadows and he will lead us beside peaceful streams if we let him. He does this when we turn away from the chaos of this world and are still enough to hear his voice and seek his face. That is where the peace and healing can happen. God’s goodness and unfailing love pursues us our whole life. All we have to do is acknowledge it and rest in it.
All of these songs are great prayers to pray. Reading them renews our minds and gives us a heavenly perspective. We are reminded that God is in control over all the earth and defeats our enemies for us.
Lord, you are our light and our salvation - so why should we be afraid?
