The psalms are amazing. They so often reflect how I'm feeling or how I'm seeing things happen. It's doubly amazing, seeing a man lay bare his own soul--so many guys are nervous about expressing their feelings. However, King David and the other writers of the Psalms seemed to have no hesitation about standing soul-naked before God--and essentially, before trillions of people for generations and eons to come. Crying was no more shameful than breathing. Depression was easily discussed.
I know God walks with me through all kinds of wildernesses, but still, I wonder how long it will have to be endured. I know that the walks in the wildernesses are, in the long run, good. Good for me, and good because I can really empathize with others in their own wildernesses.
God is wise. He knows how long it will take. I just need to lean on Him, and He'll make sure I find Oases when they're necessary.
How long, O Lord? I know--exactly as long as it takes. Thank You. I love You with my whole naked soul. Amen
