I am not quite sure why, but recently I find myself drawn to the Psalms. There is much wisdom about our lives there because it is easy to find a Psalm that echoes the yearnings of our own heart from joy to sorrow to lamentation. How often do we find ourselves like the Psalmists begging God for help or thanking God for his gifts?
For instance, I spent days with Psalm 1:2-3. Its words brought me strength and hope as Chris and I walk another transition of life together. I know we can still “prosper” and “yield fruit” in this season of change if we remain rooted in faith.
