Psalm 94:16-19 Who will protect me from the wicked? Who will stand up for me against evildoers? Unless the Lord had helped me, I would soon have settled in the silence of the grave. I cried out, "I am slipping!" but your unfailing love, O Lord, supported me. When doubts filled my mind, your comfort gave me renewed hope and cheer.
The Psalmist was obviously having a tough time and even his life was in danger. Now we may not be in such a dangerous situation as that but perhaps we've all experienced the "I'm slipping" feeling with doubts bombarding us trying to fill our minds; those times when for some reason we feel very low.
But we need never despair because our God loves us and He is the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God. (2 Cor. 1:3-4)
God has promised in His word that He will comfort us, and as we keep believing, He'll fill us with hope and even His joy in the middle of what is troubling us. (Romans 15:13)
So as we start this new week, remember you're not alone, God is right there with you in it all, and He's holding you steady, and filling you with His hope and cheering you up. And if you feel like you're slipping at some point dig out these scriptures again and again and keep reading them over your life because nothing is impossible with God. He is loving and supporting you and He wont let you go. 😊
