The psalmist was faced with a horrific situation. The God of Israel was rejecting his chosen people. This did not fit with what he knew of God. In verses 7 through 9 there are six questions that plague his heart. Why did he write them down on paper? Why was he led to display to history those hopeless thoughts that were so troubling? Is there a lesson for us to learn from this unnamed and yet inspired author? I can think of one critical reason (there is surely more) that God would want these six questions asked; to show that God is not afraid of a believer who questions him. Part of the struggle in faith is facing and overcoming those same nagging doubts. Ask God the questions that only he can answer is a powerful act of faith.
