Verse 14 NEW LIVING TRANSLATION Psalm 22
"My life is poured out like water
and all my bones are out of joint
My heart is like wax, melting within me.
When "that sinking feeling" is very serious and most unexpected ,
it is very real. There are moments in life, when all that you had planned hits the buffers;
When all that you had expected collapses: When the shock of loss really hits you.
The psalmist has been there, he expresses it in verse 14 & 15 of psalm 22.
Both war and peace bring such experience to individuals.
We cling to Jesus who knows and feels all that we know and feel.
When we have time to reflect on such experiences,
the person of faith is pleased to recall that their own reaction was to call out to the Lord,
to turn to him in their hour of need as they have been in the habit of doing in everyday life.
The poor humanist doesn't believe there is a God to turn to.
The self possessed person is likely to blame someone ,probably God.
The person with a tendency toward evil is likely to curse the people he blames
That is a predictable pattern but still we should not judge people , but in prayer
seek how to bless people who are devoid of faith or discernment.
