Hear is a small note on the book of Psalms. I must say I love this book it is just full of good stuff.
Emotions. We experience countless feelings every day, ranging from exuberant joy to deep grief. We feel pain when someone we love dies. We feel anger when things go wrong. We feel confusion when we don't understand. And we feel joy when something good happens.
Emotions add spice and color to life. As you read the book of Psalm's you see it is just packed with emotions. The pages are filled with : anger, confusion, joy, pain, humility, bewilderment, contentment-all directed toward God. God created us with emotions, and knows they will be part of our dealings with Him.
Many people read the book of Psalms because of it's honesty. Rather than ignoring the "negative" emotions or condemning them as sinful, the writers faced their feelings and continued to talk to God. Psalms also is loved because of the clear picture of God it presents.
Our emotions change constantly, but God is constant . While we fret, worry, and shout about injustice, God remains calm.
When we fall on our face before Him because of our awful sin, He isn't surprised - He is gentle and ready to forgive. Psalms reminds us that God is exalted, the Creator and Ruler of the world, and worthy of worship. He alone is God.
How are you feeling today? Angry?, Afraid?, Frustrated? Or are you joyful, happy, excited? Then read Psalms today and express yourself honestly to God.
