I was thinking about how so many people I know have had a really tough week, either in their work, or others with family in a specialist baby unit, or many others who are facing big health issues or relationship problems.
We tend to want to tell God how big our problems are, don’t we, when really we would be better telling our problems how big our God is!
The Psalmist David was feeling like God had forgotten him, everything was going wrong and it looked like his enemies were gaining on him, but he reminded himself of three things - that God unfailingly loved him, that God rescued him and that God was good to him. That covers a whole lot doesn’t it? He managed to get the balance right because it says he started to cheer up and sing to the Lord!🙂
He chose to turn his focus from what he could see to what he knew. We can do the same.
Even when things seem to get worse we can still say “I will trust in your unfailing love.” That’s the secret right there, that’s the truth that will hold us steady through the storms of life. Nothing can separate us from God’s love and He is for us, not against us, fighting our battles, working behind the scenes rescuing us.
If you forget everything else today remember this - undergirding all of us, and what we can all hold on to and sing about, is the truth that God loves us and His love will never fail us.🙂 Thank You Lord.
