Day 600 - Psalm 42

 Julie

I just want to say that we should feel good that we have been doing this consistently for 600 days. I know that we are sometimes behind, but we have held to our commitment to complete this and I think we are doing a great job.

This psalm seems like it might be have been written during one of David's times of turmoil where he felt that God was not listening to him. Again, it's inspiring to see that even those that God chose as righteous had to wait for God and David showed such great faith. Even in that faith he would still have those moments of questioning, but at the same time he would talk about how awesome God is.

I agree!  I think it's great that we have made it this far and are still going.  We should be proud of ourselves for pushing through even when we got behind.  I have to remember this moment cuz I am hard on myself when I get behind.  

The part of this psalm that stands out is "Why, my soul, are you downcast?  Why so disturbed within me?".  I have been asking myself these very questions lately.  And asking God as well.  It is refreshing to know that even a person chosen by God and with great faith, was asking these same questions and still have the mind to thank and praise God.  I need to remember that when I am feeling like I am losing myself.
