The Psalms of Iraq is my collection of emotions and thoughts viewed from situations felt within the realm of God’s hand and hold. I like the various writers of Psalms aim to express my deepest feelings and longings as well as the truth of God’s wisdom. These ancient Hebrew songs contribute to our understanding of definitive and dynamic ways. They are definitive because they contain God’s thoughts and values. They help me and others understand how God thinks, what he values and how he might respond to certain circumstance regarding life’s circle. They are dynamic because they explore our ups-and-downs of a person’s emotion. David, who wrote the majority of Psalm, expressed every emotion he felt as a servant of God’s Word. The joy of God’s victories, to the deep contribution for his sin and shortcoming. We all have to introduce ourselves to our emotions and relate them to our Psalms in our lives. Some Psalms are communal or personal expressions of thanksgiving, lament, or moral dilemma. I had to live a life under emotions ranging from all sorts of feelings under circumstances while in another country. Being faced with danger all sorts of thoughts surfaced and gained sight through the Book of Psalms. The Book of Psalms was actually living in Iraq. God was constructing and building the PSALMS OF IRAQ in me. We all have a Psalm or Psalms with us, find God and you will find your PSALMS. Know yourself and you will know your PSALMS. Know God and you will know your PSALMS!
