Psalm 22 Part One: Messianic Prophesy of Jesus' Death

Psalm 22~ first half
"My God, my God, why have you abandoned me? Why are you so far away when I groan for help?...I am scorned and despised by all! Everyone who sees me mocks me. They sneer and shake their heads, saying, "Is this the one who relies on the LORD? Then let the LORD save him! If the LORD loves him so much, let the LORD rescue him!" My life is poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint. My heart is like wax, melting within me. My strength has dried up like sun-baked clay. My tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth. You have laid me in the dust and left me for dead.My enemies surround me like a pack of dogs; an evil gang closes in on me. They have pierced my hands and feet. I can count all my bones. My enemies stare at me and gloat. They divide my garments among themselves and throw dice for my clothing.O LORD, do not stay far away! You are my strength; come quickly to my aid! Save me from the sword..."

Sweet Savior!~ 
This Psalm makes me want to weep! Through David, You predict what will happen the day You were crucified! Everything You had David write hundreds of years before Your death was totally fulfilled.  Did David know this when he wrote it?  None of this happened to him in his life...well some did: he too was surrounded by enemies and for a time, his people mocked him when he was running from Saul and his sons who would take his throne, You were his strength and saved him from the sword.
     I find it interesting that while You were alive on the cross, God saved You from the sword.  You were pierced with it after You gave up Your spirit.
Dear Lord, thank You for being willing to endure all of what You did to save my miserable sinful soul!  I can never earn or deserve Your favor, and yet, I am saved from sin, death, and hell!  What a wonder!  What a savior You are!  I will never understand Your love for me, but will revel in it all the days of my life.
