Psalm 22

Is God close by or far away? From David's words in verses 11 and 19 he must have felt like God was a great distance away.  Yet David continues to make God the focus of his praise and worship. What do I see in the life of this man of turmoil? Truthful speech to God. David isn't mincing words; he let's God have the entire gambit of emotions with nothing held back. That is what gives us the full picture of David's faith. He was comfortable with God's greatness that he could clearly state his pain without fear that God woulkd squish him. I think that is why God called David a man after his heart.
It took me a little more than 2 minutes to read this psalm.
