Change the Sheets

Psalm 6:6 (KJV) I am weary with my groaning; all the night make I my bed to swim; I water my couch with my tears.

This is David writing.  This is the man whom God said, was a man after His own heart.  This is the man who slayed Goliath.  This is the man who played his harp to calm the turmoil in Saul.  This is the man who was chosen by God to lead Israel, and to be an ancestor of the Messiah.

And with all that he lays on his bed, weeping and groaning.

That should help you realize, if you haven’t already, the Bible goes full circle on life.  It not only talks about hope and joy and promise, but also talks about the struggles that we face.  They are very real.  Admit them, and as you admit them, reach out to the eternal God, in faith and confidence, knowing that He will hear you.

So?  Don’t be afraid of genuine emotions.  Don’t be afraid of your feelings.  At the same time, don’t let them control you.  Don’t let them negate the faith that you have in the loving kindness of God.
