today i came across a fascinating video which illustrates and explains the flow of the book of psalms. i have learned an abundance of things from the psalms. God showed me his grace, mercy, forgiveness and comfort in psalm 34.
after andy's death, when i was afraid my faith would be shaken if i asked "why," psalms showed me how david pressed into the Lord with questions of "why?" as this video states, the psalms illustrate how "not to ignore pain in our lives" and how faith is forward looking. as i once heard, "do not waste your trials." everything is an opportunity.
faith gives us hope and hope looks forward.
