DEALING WITH YOUR HURT (BETRAYAL) (2 OF 7)

Dealing with Your Hurt (Betrayal) (2 of 7)
Series: Emotions and The Psalm
Will McGee
Psalm 41
INTRODUCTION: Of all the tragedies written by Shakespeare... All the heartbreaking scenes and acts... Perhaps one of the most famous comes in Shakespeare's interpretation of the life of Julius Caesar.
When Caesar is attacked by a group of conspirators... Who planned to assassinate him... He is stabbed... And the climactic moment... Is when he turns his head to see his friend... Brutus... His protégé... When it occurred to him that he had been attacked by his friend... The pain set in...
''Et tu, Brute?'' = ''And you, Brutus?''
You see, as painful as being fatally attacked was... It wasn't the stab wound that hurt Caesar the most in his final moments... It was hurt caused by the betrayal of a friend.
Hurt (often caused by a betrayal of some sort)... Is perhaps the most painful emotion that any human can experience.
This type of hurt tends to stick with us the longest. Sometimes a lifetime. This type of hurt comes in many forms:
The sting of rejected love.
A rebellious or wayward child.
Neglectful parent.
A cutthroat co-worker.
An unfaithful spouse.
Abandonment.
A gossiping friend.
Bullying.
A racial slur.
Abuse from someone you were supposed to be able to trust. (Sexual, emotional, or physical).
Think of the phrases and metaphors we use to describe when we are hurt.
''Wounded''
''It was like a spear in the chest.''
''I was crushed.''
''The rug was pulled out from under me.''
''Stabbed in the back.''
''Blow to the gut.''
''I was blindsided.''
''It tore me to pieces.''
''You BROKE my heart.''
As we continue in our study of the Psalms... I want you to see that the Bible is familiar with hurt. King David knew what it was to be betrayed. He knew what it was like to feel hurt. Wounded.
