[[-SOAP HUB]] | [[-Psalm Overview]] | [[Psalm 73]] ## Title: God Loves Us Through Our Outbursts ## Scripture: (Psalm 73:21-26) “Yes, my spirit was bitter, and my insides felt sharp pain. I was ignorant and lacked insight; I was as senseless as an animal before you. But I am continually with you; you hold my right hand. You guide me by your wise advice, and then you will lead me to a position of honor. Whom do I have in heaven but you? On earth there is no one I desire but you. My flesh and my heart may grow weak, but God always protects my heart and gives me stability.” (NET) ## Observation: I have been a part of situations where the words can change a relationship forever. When my girls were little, they were always taught that you can say whatever you like if you are willing to face the consequences. They were taught to always tell the truth and then live with what comes after. None of us are perfect at this, but we often like the first part. We like being able to say what is on our mind. We do not like the consequences. What is amazing about God is that He does not throw us away when we say things out of anger or frustration. Rather, He is close to those who are breaking down or say something in a moment of pain. He loves us and continues to work on us. He walks with us until we are completely free. ## Application: Take everything to the Lord in prayer. ## Prayer: Thank You, Jesus, for loving us on our good days and bad.
