Let me hear
joy
and gladness;
let the bones
you have crushed
rejoice.
Psalm 51:8 NIV
This morning I was woken by wailing. Two cats outside my house.
Sometimes we can be in a place where everything sounds like wailing
Like cats fighting
David was in that place.
Everything was being filtered through how he was feeling and there was no joy
No gladness
It felt like God had allowed his bones to be crushed.
I can't get up
There's nothing good in my life
But
Who is David talking to?
To God
To Yahweh
It's our God he cries out to
It's our God he cries out to to restore
To speak life into him again
To get him up
And we can do the same in our own hearts, and speak into the lives of others
To let the Restorer of All Things restore us, may the sounds, the words we hear, not sound like cats wailing, but again be sounds of joy
Of gladness
