Bounding

In the Bible, the book of Psalms is a collection of sacred poems put to music for the purpose of worshiping God. The psalms are essentially descriptions of God’s being and His doings, but they are not just propositional statements—they gush with passion and affection and emotion. 


Some psalms overflow with joy and jubilation! Delight in the beauty of God’s creation, the wonder of His awesome deeds, the worth of His character, the transcendence of His holiness! The psalmists exude the giddiness and excitement and summertime celebration that befits true worshipers of God.


But other psalms are like winter.


The season when the sun shines the least and when the climate is at its coldest. Days of decay, old age, and death. The psalmist will not pretend that winter does not exist. On the contrary, he opens his front door to the freezing blast and calls out into the darkness… He cries out to the Lord.


For in the midst of life’s winters—those seasons of sorrow, long nights of loneliness, the years when youth has been long spent and energy is exhausted—when the eyes of your soul cannot see beyond today’s trials because of the dark and the fog; when your sin-sick, self-centered, Spirit-quenched heart has grown cold and the fire is dying; when floods and storms cloud your vision and overwhelm you, your solace will only be found in a God of grace. A God who holds the universe together and does not withhold infinite care from His children. 


“Incline your ear, O Lord, and answer me,
    for I am poor and needy.
Preserve my life, for I am godly;
    save your servant, who trusts in you—you are my God.
Be gracious to me, O Lord,
    for to you do I cry all the day.
Gladden the soul of your servant,
    for to you, O Lord, do I lift up my soul.
For you, O Lord, are good and forgiving,
    abounding in steadfast love to all who call upon you.
Give ear, O Lord, to my prayer;
    listen to my plea for grace.
In the day of my trouble I call upon you,
    for you answer me.”
(Psalm 86:1-7)
