Psalms ping....
This is an interesting Psalm. We normally think of all psalms having at least one happy thought. However, this psalm sound very dreary unless one looks below the surface about God calling us to humility.
Thanks for the honor of your ping.
I suppose one could construe it as a call to humility.
Some of us have lived that Psalm rather painfully, extensively and for long periods. Even decades later, it’s still hard to articulate well about that period and what all God was doing in that process.
Certainly one of the results of such a process is a stripping off of everything but God. The pain is excuciating enough . . . one rather quickly wants nothing else but God’s will, healing, deliverance, anointing, wholeness, . . . in one’s life. That’s a good focus.
The tuition getting there can be everything—even things and parts one didn’t know existed.
