Sunday Reflection: Grieving With God
To get the most out of this devotion, set aside time to read the Scripture referenced throughout.
Have you ever found yourself disappointed with where life has brought you? When that happens, instead of immediately going into problem-solving mode, it is often helpful to first grieve what’s been lost.
Consider, for example, the Hebrew people whose situation changed dramatically when a new Pharaoh came to power. Suffering under the harsh oppression of slavery, “they cried out; and their cry for help because of their bondage ascended to God” (Ex. 2:23). Far from being indifferent, the Lord listened to their lament (Ex. 3:7-9) and freed His people with stunning displays of power.
In a similar way, we are invited to grieve with the Lord (Ps. 56:8). He is not disappointed when we share our frustrations with Him—it keeps the dialogue open and lets Him into our sorrow. The important thing is to stay connected to God, no matter what we may be feeling.
Think about it
• It is better to express our negative feelings to the Lord than to express none at all. What do you want to share with Him today?
Bible in One Year: Leviticus 24-25
Thought for Today: We are free to bring our disappointment and frustration to the Father.
