Written hundreds of years before Christ Psalm 22 weaves together amazing details that later appear as part of the story of Jesus.
“My God, My God why have you forsaken me.” These words of Jesus on the cross are in fact a quote from this passage. There are details that fulfill the prophecies in this passage. He was despised, mocked, his heart melted, bones were out of joint. One of the amazing attention getters of the Bible are the details of the life of Christ clearly recorded hundreds of years before they were acted out in His life. The plan had been clearly laid. The fulfillment of the details proves that there was a divine plan. Jesus was who he said he was.
Within this Psalm are so many common human experiences. There is the question that goes up to God, “Why have you forsaken me.” The silence of God is something we all have experienced in our lives. When we get to those times, Jesus understands. Jesus understood what it was like to be despised and mocked. He understands physical pain and hurt. He is an intercessor who can understand us.
The amazing thing about Jesus is that while He was God He chose to endure these tough experiences in order to save mankind. This is why we love Jesus. He paid for us. He understands us. We can look to Him as our Savior. That is why I love Him so much.

I find it interesting that as close as David was to God that he continued to ask God to be close to him.

I love Him too!
Submit, love, obey, fear God, do all as unto the Lord knowing we shall see the reward of inheritance. Godly direction for a wayward world.
This reminds me of the lyrics that hit home everytime I hear them, "You're the only one who can undo what I've become." It makes us thankful for his mercy.
Reading. David
