Psalm 40:1-3 I waited patiently for the Lord to help me, and he turned to me and heard my cry. He lifted me out of the pit of despair, out of the mud and the mire. He set my feet on solid ground and steadied me as I walked along. He has given me a new song to sing, a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see what he has done and be amazed. They will put their trust in the Lord.
When we're tempted to despair, when we can't see the answer, when we're just plain worn out with keeping on keeping on, when all we want to do is get well and we can't see any progress, what do we do?
We turn to Jesus because he's the only one who can help us. We keep our focus on Him and His finished work on the Cross, not on our troubles. His eye is on the sparrow and he's watching over you and me. In other words His focus is always on us. Isn’t that an encouraging thought.🙂
He knows what it was like to feel let down, disappointed, betrayed. It says He bore all our sicknesses and diseases as well as our sin in His own body, and as he hung on the cross for something he didn't do He had your face and mine before him and He did it for us. He could have given up at any point but he chose not to because he loved us so. I’m so thankful for that!
The enemy loves to come to discourage us, to bring his doubts but can I tell you he won't win. We belong to God, He's working behind the scenes and the reward for not giving up will be great. God is on it, He’s lifting us out and He’s turning things around for our good. God has given us a new song to sing, a song of praise. Can I encourage you to sing it, even if you don’t feel like it?🙂 Your faith will encourage others as well.
God's plans are still being worked out and they're for His glory and yours, so don't give up. Let me join my faith with yours and know together we can do this because He is steadying us as we walk along and we will overcome with His help. Thank You Lord.🙂
