The psalms became very real to me after the death of my son Daniel in 1997. Daniel was four and had cancer. His death devastated me.
It was in my despair that I found the beauty of the biblical psalms.
There are psalms of despair, anguish and fear, as well as psalms of praise, expectation, and hope. It is my hope that you'll dig into Bob Saffrin's Psalms, The Sunrise of Hope and discover what reading the psalms can do for your spirit. Bob unveils much about the psalms and their meanings. At the end of each chapter he concludes with a Life Lesson, and a chance to consider and discuss. By pondering on the questions he asks, readers can reflect on their own spiritual journey.
Perhaps one of the aspects that I found most comforting about Bob's devotional is that he stresses God's love for us. What a privilege to be loved by the creator of the universe!
"Oh, LORD Our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth!" Psalm 8:9.
