Psalm 77
The Psalmist feels abandoned by God. Verse 7 expresses this so clearly, "Will the Lord reject forever? Will he never show his favor again?" The Psalmist is not the only one experience this sense of abandonment. This experience is a common one among people of faith, a feeling of abandonment that we suffer in silence. We are afraid to express this experience to others. We are afraid of their opinions. We fear they would think less of us.
The consequence of our fear is that we believe we are only ones to have this experience when in fact most Christians experience this at some point in the life of faith. No one speaks of it, we only speak of those moments where we are close to God. If we were honest with one another about how we experience God, it could create opportunities for us to help one another. To provide guidance through difficult times or insight into what is happening. Thus the question for the day is how open with others are you about your relationship with God?
