A Year Through God's Eyes

When I was a kid and would go off to pout when something didn't go my way, I would sometimes cry out to my family, "You don't love me!" My parents, in their infinite parental wisdom would proceed to sing the following song: "Nobody loves me, everybody hates me, I'm gonna go eat worms!" They knew that I was just throwing a fit and that in my heart as well as theirs they cared for me like no one else in my life did at that time.
Since I have been in the Psalms, for the most part, they have been of the doom and gloom variety, with a few verse here and there about God's love and character. This psalm puts these thoughts on a grander scale than the ones before as well as speaking more plainly. This makes me think that maybe when David wrote this, he was finally starting to get real with God and stop playing games, or pretending that he wasn't a broken individual with serious problems. There are so many times when this is the same thing I need to do. When I find myself asking God, how many times do I have to wrestle with my thoughts, fight against my sinful desires, strive to be obedient; I need to do just what David does and remember how many promises God makes to care for me, and how many times He has done so in the past. I need to beg God to "bring light to my eyes." or help me understand the world that I live in and the mission He has called me to, and then follow through with that with the promise that "I will trust in His unfailing love, rejoice in His salvation, and sing to the Lord for how good and patient He is with me.
