Daily Word - A Somber Look

PSALM 22:1 KJV

After all the Easter egg hunts are over ... the many Easter "get-togethers" are done ... and the kids are all enjoying their Easter
goodies ... we need to take a somber look at the Crucifixion as
described in Psalm 22. 
 
The love that Christ has for us ... the
suffering He was willing to endure for all ... this picture provides a

great perspective for when we're facing life's trials ... hardships and
tribulations. Christ will surely understand more that we can imagine
about pain and suffering ... and provides for our strength and power in
those times.


Psalm 22:1

My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? why are you so far from
helping me, and from the words of my roaring?


Psalm 22:12 - 16

Many bulls have compassed me: strong bulls of Bashan have beset me
round.  They gaped on me with their mouths, as a ravening and a roaring
lion.  I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint: my
heart is like wax; it is melted in the middle of my bowels.  My strength
is dried up like a potsherd; and my tongue sticks to my jaws; and you
have brought me into the dust of death. For dogs have compassed me: the
assembly of the wicked have enclosed me: they pierced my hands and my feet.
