Jesus cries out, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” Jesus walked on earth as both man and God. God wanted us to know that he understood everything that we encounter, we think, we struggle with. During this ninth hour, Jesus took on all of the sins of the world. His intimate fellowship with God the Father was temporarily broken. The words that he cried out are the same words of David found in Psalm 22. This Psalm begins with despair but ends with a renewed trust in God. Perhaps that was what Jesus was quoting. He knew that soon his relationship with God would be restored.
How many times do we cry out to God wondering where he is but not long afterwards, realize he was there all along? Where does your faith, your trust in God need restoring today?
Patient God, thank you for your love and understanding. Please give me the courage to trust that you are always beside me. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
