Falseness Among the Religious
One of the wonderful things about scripture is that it's written by honest people, who aren't afraid to tell us what they're really feeling and thinking.
So often among the religious, people feel the need to pretend that everything is okay, to pretend that they don't feel anger at god, or lonely, or disenchanted. They pretend, and so actually isolate themselves from everyone else.
This Psalm is another attributed to David, and he wrote it after he had ran from Saul (the first time), and after he had faked insanity in front of Abimelech.
Needless to say, this was not a high time in his life.
Take courage from scripture. Join with David and others in your despair and find some light to rejoice in your soul, for God is good!
