Psalms 119:145-152

I pray with all my heart; answer me, Lord!
... I cry out to you; rescue me...
I rise early, before the sun is up; I cry out for help and put my hope in your words.
I stay awake through the night, thinking about your promise.
In your faithful love, 
O Lord, hear my cry; 
let me be revived by following your regulations...
But you are near, 
O Lord, 
and all your commands are true.
I have known from my earliest days that your laws will last forever. 
Psalms 119:145-152 NLT
Can you hear the Psalmsist heart?
The repeated and repeated crying out to God.
And the trust.
That whatever the distress is that he is experiencing, it's Truth that holds him.
Our God is Faithful Love.
Our God is Near.
Our God is Bigger, and whatever is going on in our story, His Big Story is enough to hold ours, to hold us.
The writer of this Psalm couldn't feel any of that, but knew it was true.
And that is what this Psalm invites us into today, to trust our God who is Near, who is Unfailing Love, who is Enough, to hold our hurts, struggles, uncertainties, losses and pressures.
Let the Truth hold you.

Joseph replied..."Dont you see, you planned evil against me but God used those same plans for my good, as you see all around you right now - life for many people..." Genesis 50:19-20 MSG The view from the drone. The different perspective. "God has been at work in my life despite, in fact within the hatred that you had towards me. Even though I couldn't always see it, I kept trusting Him, even when He was silent, when all hope seemed lost... God was at work... Can you see that now?" #faith #faithinthedark
Genesis 15.8-18.ESV But he said O Lord God , how am I to know that I shall possess it? ...When the sun had gone down and it was dark, behold, a smoking fire pot and a flaming torch passed between these pieces. On that day the Lord made a covenant with Abram... March 15 was the last day we looked at Abram's story...he was questioning God and this is God's response...sacrifices and smoke and fire and a covenant...a promise... Isn't that what we crave for sometimes? God, if only you'd just show me smoke & fire, a burning bush a sign, miracle, healing...then all my questions would disappear...all my doubts would be gone... 2moro we'll see Abram's response but I think God values our faith in spite of our questions and doubts. That we choose Him anyway #faith
Psalm 42.1-11.nlt As the deer longs for streams of water, so I long for you, O God... I thirst for God, the living God. When can I go and stand before him? O God my rock l cry, Why have you forgotten me? Why must I wander around in grief, oppressed by my enemies? Their taunts break my bones. They scoff, Where is this God of yours? Why am I discouraged? Why is my heart so sad? I will put my hope in God! I will praise him again - my Savior and my God! That song "as the deer pants for the water..." seems almost nice, but it's not...it's part of a cry of anguish, of hurt, of despair...of God not giving an answer...yet...through all that...again and again he says I'll put my hope in God! #choose #hope #hopeunshaken
