Meditations From The Psalms, Part 5

"My soul melteth for heaviness: strengthen thou me according unto thy word." - Psalm 119:28

Did you wake up heavy hearted today? Are there issues that you face which seem insurmountable? I love the honesty of the psalms. Depression, anxiety, weariness, heaviness, pain, fear, and every other emotion or experience is found here. We lower our bucket into the psalms and draw from those who felt the same way we feel. Here the psalmist calls upon God's Word for strength. He is admitting that he can't get through this without supernatural wisdom and counsel. Have you lowered your bucket today? That's the way I see things.
