What was happening in the present moment for each psalmist spurred the writing of each psalm of the Bible. Through joy and tears, the psalmists cried out to a God they believed heard and cared. Whatever our circumstances—a burdensome ministry, a difficult marriage, joblessness, or a deep loneliness—we can give them to God. He has lifted the burden of our sins; will He not lift the weight of our sorrows? We have trusted Him with our eternal souls; can we not entrust our present circumstances to Him? "Cast your cares on the Lord and he will sustain you" (55:22). Because God cares about us, we can leave our cares with Him. —David Roper Through ninety devotional readings, David Roper explores the essence of various passages from Psalms and how they apply to the pains and blessings of real life. Through the lens of these songs and prayers, he explores the beauty and terror of nature, the snarling of angry thoughts, the preciousness of children, the good path to growing older, and more. In every up and down, Roper invites us to recognize the ways God speaks to us today.
