Psalm 45 is bewildering to me. I can’t really understand it or why its in the Psalter, but its there and so I have to respond to it. That’s one of the wonderful things about the Bible–it forces us to engage with strange cultures and strange ideas and ask what this tells us about God. It is with the passages we don’t understand that we sometimes need to spend the most time. So today, spend twenty minutes reading and reflecting on Psalm 45 or on the passage that most bewilders you. Don’t try to figure it out. Just sit and pray with it.
