Psalms 1-41
David, perhaps the greatest king and military leaders of his time lived much of his life on the run from his enemies and mocked by his friends. He struggled in his faith and lived with emotional unrest. He questioned God about his painful circumstances. He wanted a better tomorrow.
Many years ago, tired of the tired pace I was keeping I decided to open my Bible and read the Psalms, one at time. Wounds from my past that never properly healed begin to mend. The unrest in my heart settled as peace grew roots and doubt turned trust. Yes, my tomorrows were getting better. I learned tomorrows are better when:
My future is not shaped by mistakes of the past
My pain becomes a place our faith can grow
My fear of God is stronger than my fears of the world
My sorrow for sin is replaced with the freedom of forgiveness
My fervor for revenge surrenders to God’s judgment
My joy is found in things of God rather than the things of this world
