As I read the Psalms of David I am always awed by his brutal honesty. I know I can often come to the Lord with flowery words, “Christianese” and words that must resound with “blah, blah, blah” in the Lord’s ears. I can hear the Lord say to me, “Kathy, would you just be honest already”? Why is it we feel that we can’t be as brutally honest as David? When was the last time you really let God know what was going on in your heart? Why do you and I hesitate? If David’s words have been written and left for us as an example and an encouragement perhaps we need to model some of David’s expressions of gut honest truth. While we respect God and who He is we are also encouraged to come boldly to the throne of grace to receive mercy. Not only is David honest about himself but he is honest about who his God is. Remembering the truth of who God is becomes how our hearts will transition from brutal honesty to honest praise. Would you be willing to be so bold, so honest with the Lord today?

Blessings,
