This
psalm is both a prayer and a song of praise. This year, I am discovering the
richness of the psalms. Often, I am taken aback by all the emotions.
I
have read this psalm out aloud three times and hope you will do so too. One
reading takes about three minutes.
David
asks for attention and help. He expresses his love for God and promises to not
stop trusting Him in the future. What strikes me most is that he gets very
enthusiastic about who God is, he is obviously enjoying the fact that he is in
touch with God (v 12):
I will praise you, O Lord
my God, with all my heart;
I will glorify your name
forever.
Shall
we say this promise together? I find this declaration of love very powerful.
Expressing it aloud makes the meaning and the feelings that come with it even
stronger.
Let
us take time to tell God that we love Him. It will make us content. And God, just
like us, will be pleased when we say to Him ‘I love you’.
*********
Psalm 86 is zowel een
gebed als een lofuiting. Ik heb de psalm hardop gelezen en ik hoop dat je dat
ook zult doen. In vers 12 raakt David enthousiast over zijn verbondenheid met
God. Laten we de tijd nemen of tegen God te zeggen dat we van Hem houden. We
worden er rustig en tevreden van.
