Our ideas of God are based on our experiences

I will remember the works of the Lord: surely I will remember thy wonders of old. I will meditate also of all thy work, and talk of thy doings. Psalm 77:11, 12.
Be careful how you interpret Scripture. Read it with a heart opened to the entrance of God's Word, and it will express Heaven's light, giving understanding unto the simple.
The psalmist David in his experience had many changes of mind. At times as he obtained views of God's will and ways, he was highly exalted. Then as he caught sight of the reverse of God's mercy and changeless love, everything seemed to be shrouded in a cloud of darkness....
When he meditated upon the difficulties and dangers of life, they looked so forbidding that he thought himself abandoned by God because of his sins. He viewed his sin in such a strong light that he exclaimed, "Will the Lord cast off for ever? and will he be favourable no more?" Sin is very critical that it makes you feel cast out of the mercy zone and unreachable to Repentance!
As he wept and prayed, he obtained a clearer view of the character and attributes of God, and being educated by heavenly agencies, he decided that his ideas of God's justice and severity were exaggerated.... so we can in full Repentance understand the character & will of God thus we live the life of pure religion.
We need to dwell on our experiences where the hand of God led us and cling to those experiences to attain power to go forward despite the challenges we face in life.... You & me can be led by the Holy Spirit & the angels to live a life of pure religion.
