As we begin our journey through the Psalms, I am reminded of a textbook that I used in college. Arnold and Byer wrote a book about the Old Testament and their section on Psalms has stuck with me. They write that the Psalms are a look at the heart of Israel. The Psalms are a picture of the heart of man. In the Psalms, you will read praise, despair, joy, and sorrow. In the Psalms, there are cries for help and celebration because of victory. Family life, work life, personal relationships, and living with God are all themes found woven through the Psalms. It is one big heart check, a place to go and see how our hearts line up with the heart of God. Embedding the Bible is about being transformed. We learn to walk with God in every moment and through every situation in life. The Psalms are a great place to be introspective and self-examining. I would encourage you to read the Psalms for what they are. People crying, celebrating, worshipping, praising, grieving, struggling, and calling out to God for transformation. People like you. People like me. People who want to look like Jesus.
