  1. Max Lucado _ Facing Your Giants: The God

    Grief takes time. Give yourself some. "Sages invest themselves in hurt and grieving" {Eccles. 7:4 MSG }. Lament may be a foreign verb in our world but not in Scripture's. Seventy percent of the psalms are poems of sorrow. Why, the Old Testament includes a book of lamentations. The son of David wrote, "Sorrow is better than laughter, for sadness has a refining influence on us" {Eccles. 7:3 NLT }. We spelunk life's deepest issues in the cave of sorrow. Why am I here? Where am I headed? We spelunk life's deepest issues in the cave of sorrow. Why am I here? Where am I headed? Cemetery strolls stir hard yet vital questions. David indulged the full force of his remorse: "I am worn out from sobbing. Every night tears drench my bed; my pillow is wet from weeping" {Ps. 6:6 NLT }. And then later: "I am dying from grief; my years are shortened by sadness. Misery has drained my strength; I am wasting away from within" {Ps. 31:10 NLT }.

    It is foolish to harbor a grudge" {Eccles. 7:9 TEV}. An eye for an eye becomes a neck for a neck and a job for a job and a reputation for a reputation. When does it stop? It stops when one person imitates David's God-dominated mind.
