Bible Blog: Psalm 6 – June 5, 2008

Psalm 6: 1-10 (GNB)

“LORD, don't be angry and rebuke me! Don't punish me in your anger!
“I am worn out, O LORD; have pity on me! Give me strength; I am completely exhausted
“And my whole being is deeply troubled. How long, O LORD, will you wait to help me?
“Come and save me, LORD; in your mercy rescue me from death.
“In the world of the dead you are not remembered; no one can praise you there.
“I am worn out with grief; every night my bed is damp from my weeping; my pillow is soaked with tears.
“I can hardly see; my eyes are so swollen from the weeping caused by my enemies.
“Keep away from me, you evil people! The LORD hears my weeping;
“He listens to my cry for help and will answer my prayer.
“My enemies will know the bitter shame of defeat; in sudden confusion they will be driven away.”

“I am worn out” and “Give me strength Lord” are frequent prayers for me. Reading them here simply reminded me I’m not the only one who struggles with the effects of evil in life. Everyone is impacted by decisions people make, by the physical and emotional attacks that Satan unleashes on us, and even by the repetitiveness routine of life. What I also notice in this passage is that David takes the same path I tend to take when troubled… I start out with a “complaint” mentality, followed with a feeling of resolve, and finally ending in a feeling of satisfaction in my Savior and the knowledge that I am His and He will take care of me. Have you ever wondered about that? Have you ever wondered why you will start off a prayer with “God this isn’t fair!” and end up with “I love You and know You have my life under control.”? I have, the best answer I can give you is the one I tell myself. God is comforting you while you pray. You may start off distressed, but in the end, His love and comfort engulf you and encourage you. Isn’t it wonderful?

Hugs & Love

Have you ever considered about including a little bit more than just your articles?
I mean, what you say is important and everything.
But think about if you added some great photos or video clips to give your posts more,
"pop"! Your content is excellent but with pics and video clips,
this website could certainly be one of the most beneficial in its field.
Very good blog!

A motivating discussion is definitely worth comment. I think that you should publish
more about this issue, it might not be a taboo subject but generally folks don't speak about these issues. To the next! Many thanks!!
