JOYCE MEYER MESSAGE FOR TODAY 18TH MAY 2024.
One reason we can relate to the psalms that David wrote is that he did not hesitate to tell God exactly how he felt. No matter how discouraged or fearful he was at times, he was open with God and always trusted Him to be faithful to him. He was also determined to praise God regardless of his circumstances.
I believe it was emotionally healthy for David to express to God how he really felt. It was a way of releasing his negative feelings so they couldn’t harm his inner being while he was waiting for God’s deliverance. David frequently told God how he felt or what his circumstances were and then said something like, “But I will trust God. I will praise God, Who helps me.”
I would never suggest that you stuff your feelings inside and not express them. That wouldn’t be healthy. My purpose is not to encourage you to pretend everything is fine while you feel anger, sadness, or some other emotion. People who repress pain and never learn to deal with it properly eventually either explode or implode. Neither is a good choice. We don’t want to deny the existence of emotions, but we can deny them the right to rule over us.
Instead, follow David’s example and express yourself honestly to God or to a person you trust whom God wants to use. To express yourself in a godly way, always remember to put your hope in God—to praise Him and speak of His goodness and unfailing love.
