Sunday: A Day of Rest

Hello dear friends,

We have now journeyed our way through two books of the Bible.  All in just over one month! Wow! Let's now take a day of rest.

Then, tomorrow we will begin a new book.  The Book of Psalms.

During a recent phone call, a woman asked me, "Is it okay to pray when I'm mad. Just really, really mad."

I shared with her that it's absolutely okay to pray when we are mad. Or happy. Or sad. Or whatever we feel. The Psalms are in the middle of the Bible. And they are FULL of real, raw emotion. Sometimes the speaker is full of joy and thanksgiving. Other times the speaker is filled with rage and wants revenge.

It is important to know that it isn't God who is speaking in the Psalms - it is humans, speaking TO God. It is amazing just how real they are in their petitions.

The book of Psalms is quite long, so this book will take us longer to get through, but I feel like it will be an important and meaningful journey.

See you back here tomorrow!
