Anger and Frustration

Every Sunday, in church, we read a portion of one of the Psalms. Yet there are Psalms that are never read in church. They are too violent, sad, or personal. The 39th Psalm this past Tuesday (see Forward Day by Day) is one such Psalm. The first verse: “I said, I will keep watch upon my ways,* so that I do not offend with my tongue.” But the psalmist cannot keep it in and the anger and frustration are directed at God. God takes it all in, as God will, and the psalmist lives to write again.

Go in peace to love and serve the Lord!

Josh
