Meditations on the Psalms

Isn't it amazing that the thoughts and feelings of men and women that long ago would be the same thoughts and feelings we have today?

Sometimes we feel that when we are going through a particularly difficult time or event in our lives, it feels like we are the only one that ever felt that way. Surely, that writer long ago must have had similar feelings. It is very helpful , not only to read the comforting words, but also to remember that for 3000 years people in situations similar to out own have read the same words and have received the same comfort.

We are a part of a great company of people - like ourselves , who have sought and found help in the Psalms. Read them with this understanding, and feel the presence of these, who are like you close by. Amen
