    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Jan 21, 2022
     | 2,879 views

    Most of us love to read the Psalms because we can relate to the many things David, and the other writers, express in this beautiful book.

    For example, in the case of Psalm 142, David pours out his heart to God. Once David was king, he had many good experiences as ruler over God’s people, but for a while before he became king, he had some experiences that could be classified as downright abusive. Many times he had to flee for his ...read more
