Psalm 22 : 1-5


My God, My God, why have You forsaken me? Why are You so far from helping me. and from the words of My groaning? O My God, I cry in the daytime, but You do not hear; and in the night season, and am not silent. But You are holy, Enthroned in the praises of Israel. Our fathers trusted in You; They trusted, and You delivered them. They cried to You, and were delivered; They trusted in You, and were not ashamed.


This psalm is one of suffering and praise. We hear these words again from Jesus on the cross. Worship of God brings us into His presence. This is how the people felt the connection between God and their lives. This communion with God keeps the relationship. Praise brings us into the right frame of mind to talk to God and receive His love. Three words are in this passage that are important: praises, trusted, and delivered.


This means a lot to me personally. When did I stop trusting? Was it the day I realized that I was not in charge? I could not control the outcome of my life or Janessa's? As I type this the tears are rolling down my cheeks. I hate not being in control. It infuriates me. I think it is interesting that so many praise songs come from the Psalms. It is like David through God's leading is helping us praise Him.
