My All-Time Favorite Psalm

Psalm 130 is my all-time favorite Psalm. Every time I read it I cry. The words of this Psalm always bring me a sense of freedom from all things that bring pain and suffering in any form or at any level.

Strong words, yes; strong belief as well.

I honestly don't have anything to post about this Psalm as it speaks for itself.

Every word between "Out of the depths I cry to you, O Lord" and "It is he who will redeem Israel from all its iniquities" hold a special meaning in my life. Those words have saved me (as in kept me safe and sound - in case you forgot about last Friday) from my moments of self-doubt and carried me through times of sorrow. Those words have given me courage and helped me humble myself. Those words are engraved in my heart and is foremost in my thoughts. Only God can bring this kind of freedom from suffering, and it's in the words of this particular Psalm I hear God the most.

Okay, enough about me. Find a quiet place, open your bible to Psalm 130, and plug in some headphones. When you've done all this follow this link.

It is God who will free us from all things that divide and separate us from one another, ourselves, and God.
