234 Psalms 007 – 011; Colossians 001

God! God! I am running to you for dear life; the chase is wild! A few lines later, Stand up, God; pit your holy fury against my furious enemies. I would say David was not bashful, nor was he vacillating in his prayer. On page 1150 at the top David writes, “God, are you avoiding me? Where are you when I need you?” This is a direct sincere question of God, His Savior. When have you been this real with the Lord? In the last Psalm David writes, I've already run for dear life straight to the arms of God. So why would I run away now when you say, Run to the mountains; the evil bows are bent, the wicked arrows aimed to shoot under cover of darkness at every heart open to God. Trust! David had come to terms with God and he was not moving. A lot of emotion and dialog from David with his Lord and Savior. One undertaking that might be worthwhile is for you to try to write a song to the Lord. In the next week just try it; if not a song write a prayer out to the Lord.

Just in case you are confused as to who Jesus really is then you will enjoy the book of Colossians. If you believe deeply that He is God and that through Him everything was created--- If you also believe that He is preeminent in all things then you will be affirmed in your belief. This book is about Jesus and Him having first place in all things. Have a good read.
