Why I Like The Book of Psalms

I know many of Psalms are about war and enemies but I read between the lines. I don't mostof them literally because the context is different for me. The Psalms encourage and inspire me. They reassure me of who God is and that is always their. Many times when I am feeling down I think about some of the Psalms (like Psalms 23 and 27). These Psalms help me to keep going when I feel like quiting. They remind that I am not in this alone, the Lord is with me and on my side. The Psalms also remind me that I should be thankful and praise God for who He is in my life. Just like many other books of the Bible, Psalms reminds me that I am not worthy of God's grace and mercy but because of His love and kindness He gives freely. This Psalms also remind me that life is not easy and never will. In order to appreciate God and all of His glory you must go through a little pain and suffering sometimes. I know many times when I go through things I feel like God has forsaking me, but then I come to realize that He is there all the time and trials are just a test of my faith and to make me stronger. I know Psalms has a literally context but to me in more general context, their purpose is to uplift, inspire, reassure, and streangthen the believer.
