A
reminder for today
Turn
to me and have mercy, for I am alone and in deep distress. My problems go from
bad to worse. Oh, save me from them all! (Psalm 25:16-17)
The burden of life and bad choices can weigh heavy on our
lives. When your problems start to slam against you like waves hitting a ship
in the midst of a storm, you can feel how every bid of energy is drained from
your body. You are plagued by physical and emotional exhaustion and sometimes
we hit rock bottom as we sink due to the continuous amount of problems that stuns
our world.
David cries out to the Lord to have mercy and save him. He
feels alone in deep distress and his problems seem to escalate. Then David
writes in verse 20: Protect me! Rescue my
life from them! Do not let me be disgraced, for in you I take refuge.
The Lord is our refuge in the storms of life. He will be
our shelter when we feel alone and our problems seem endless. I wrote to you
once that we should not tell God how big our problems are, but we should tell
our problems how big our God is.
When you feel that you cannot go on anymore, get down on
your knees and fight this battle like a man. God will renew your strength and
lift you out of this pit of despair. He will calm the storms and dry away the
rain. He will warm you soul with His light and break the chains of life that
hampers your progress.
He is God and there is no other. I give my life to you. I trust in you, my God! Do not let me be
disgraced, or let my enemies rejoice in my defeat. No one who trusts in you will ever be disgraced. (Verse 1-3)
Have and awesome day dear friend of Jesus
Cheers
