God Understands

Bible in a Year:
Psalms 6–7

1 Corinthians 15:1–28
Great is our Lord and mighty in power; his understanding has no limit.

Psalm 7:5

Today's Scripture & Insight:

Psalm 7:1–
After a recent move, Mabel’s seven-year- , Ryan, fussed as he prepared attend a summer camp at his new school. Mabel encouraged him, assuring him that she understood change was hard. But one morning, Ryan’s out-of-character grumpiness seemed excessive. With compassion, Mabel asked, “What’s bothering you, ?”

Staring out of the window, Ryan shrugged. “I don’t know, Mom. I just have too many feelings.”

Mabel’s heart ached as she comforted him. Desperate for a way to help him, she shared that the move was hard for her too. She assured Ryan that God would stay close, that He knows everything, even when they couldn’t understand or voice their frustrations. “Let’s set up a visit with your friends before school starts,” she said. They made plans, grateful that God understands even when His have “too many feelings.”

The writer of Psalm 7 experienced overwhelming emotions throughout his faith journey and recognized the benefits of praising the all-knowing Maker and Sustainer of all, the Healer of physical and emotional wounds (vv. 1–6). He praised God for the ways He provides and “delights in those who fear him, who put their hope in his unfailing love” (v. ).

When we’re struggling make sense of our emotions, we don’t have feel alone or discouraged. We can rest in the unlimited understanding of our unchanging, loving God.

Reflect & Pray
How does knowing God understands your most intimate needs help you trust Him while you process your emotions? What emotions seem most difficult for you place into God’s mighty and merciful hands?

Sovereign God, thank You for assuring me that You understand and care about my emotional and physical needs.

We had an emergency this morning that necessitated Joe's transfer to the hospital. I handled the physical actions needed without giving it much thought, but then the emotions starting rolling in and I couldn't even think..... or pray. So I went online and asked for prayers in our prayer group. As I went about getting stuff gathered and driving to the hospital I felt the calm come over me and knew that God was handling my emotions, and I felt the prayers of others. Yes, He cares.

Be a prism, spreading God's light and love, not a mirror reflecting the world's hatred.

I hope this finds Joe okay.  I can relate to being emotionally overwhelmed to the extent where you can't think or pray, and glad calm was restored after reaching out to your prayer group for support.
