When Naomi came to Bethlehem she said, “Do not call me Naomi. Call me Mara.” Call me “bitter.” For the Almighty has dealt bitterly with me.
Naomi does not accuse God of being unjust. She simply says that God has brought calamity upon her. We need to learn to be that honest with God – and with each other.
The Psalms are very useful for this! Because the Psalms come from the same source as the book of Ruth.
Much of our hymnody tends to put a happy face on. (And it's okay to be happy!) But if we want to learn how to be honest with God and with one another in the rough times of life, then we need to learn to sing and pray the Psalms.
