Psalm 42:9a "God my Rock..."
Day 10 – Psalm 42
“God my Rock…” Psalm 42:9a
AN OUTPOURING OF THE THINGS THAT HURT DEEPLY
Hurt will always express itself. Keeping pain in the heart serves little purpose. The wisest thing to do is to learn how to pour out all the hurt and pain felt deep within. The following text must be read as an emotional outpouring of the things that had so deeply troubled the psalmist.
“I will say to God my Rock,
‘Why have You forgotten me?
Why do I go mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?’
As with the breaking of my bones, my enemies reproach me,
While they say to me all day long,
‘Where is your God?'”
Psalm 42:9-10
