The Honesty of Old Testament Bloggers

If you can just remain simply honest in what you write then it will be of value both yourself and others.
It has always been of great personal interest and comfort to me that the bloggers of some 3,000 years ago (the psalmists) poured out as much (if not more) complaints to God as they did praise. Their blogs are still a comfort and inspiration to many. Men and women who have shaken their fists in the face of God have ultimately found peace and hope in believing.

Some examples..........

Psalm 69

Save me, O God,for the waters have come up to my neck.
I sink in the miry depths,where there is no foothold.
I have come into the deep waters; the floods engulf me.
I am worn out calling for help; my throat is parched.
My eyes fail,looking for my God.

(Blog by King David)

Final example of many - Psalm 130

Out of the depths I cry to you, O Lord; O Lord, hear my voice.
Let your ears be attentive to my cry for mercy.
If you, O Lord, kept a record of sins,O Lord, who could stand?
But with you there is forgiveness; therefore you are feared.
I wait for the Lord, my soul waits,and in his word I put my hope.
My soul waits for the Lord more than watchmen wait for the morning,more than watchmen wait for the morning.
O Israel, put your hope in the Lord,for with the Lord is unfailing love and with him is full redemption. He himself will redeem Israel from all their sins.
