As Christians we might ask should we feel happy all the time? Yet, in Psalm 12:5 we learn of the 'sighing of the weary and the oppressed'. We may feel dissatisfied, even unhappy, and have unmet yearnings that make us sigh. Our own experience may find us moved to anger, and have feelings of despondency, despair, sadness and sighing. This is all in the experience of the needy and the humble.
Much of society today is full of vileness and uncleanness. In this increasingly ungodly age, where at times the Lord's people are greatly oppressed, we look at some of the needs of the church and can feel that the burden is too great for us.
We sigh that God is not honoured as He should be. We sigh because He is rejected by so many, and even hated. We sigh because much of the visible church is so weak and has joined forces with the enemies of the gospel, and are teaching things that are against what the Bible teaches.
The true child of God longs for heaven in the midst of all these foes and things that cause us to sigh. We long for the Lord to be honoured and glorified, and we find ourselves looking for a 'better country' in that 'heavenly home' which God has prepared for those that love Him.
