Sunday Psalms:

Psalms 35:7-8, 12, 15 CSB

[7] They hid their net for me without cause; 

they dug a pit for me without cause. 

[8] Let ruin come on him unexpectedly, 

and let the net that he hid ensnare him; 

let him fall into it - to his ruin.

...

[12] They repay me evil for good, 

making me desolate.

...

[15] But when I stumbled, 

they gathered in glee; they gathered against me. 

Assailants I did not know tore at me and did not stop.

Psalms 35:7-8, 12, 15 CSB

This is a song of David's, a sing asking, pleading, directing God to intervene, even how to do it!

This is David, and the Bible, keeping it real. He is expressing his heart directly to God. David isn't doing it for commentary or for approval, but because this is what is going on for him.

And that's the invitation for us - to express to God what is going on for us, unfiltered. 

Perhaps you can understand exactly where David is coming from, it's OK to be unfiltered with our God.

(Maybe David's example of writing it down is worth following too - the process of getting our thoughts and emotions expressed and "out of our heads" can be helpful - I wonder how things were for David after he finished writing this psalm?).

What does this song open up for you?
