Psalms 25:16-18 NLT
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! 
Feel my pain and see my trouble...

Maybe this feels familiar - David's problems mounting up, feeling alone in it all.
Unseen.
Unheard.
And yet he is not alone, not unheard

[15] My eyes are always on the Lord, for he rescues me from the traps of my enemies.
...
[21] May integrity and honesty protect me, 
for I put my hope in you.
Psalms 25:15, 21 NLT

Just like us David's emotions are telling him something, but his conclusion from them ("for I am alone") isn't the last word, isn't the whole story.
Even in his distress, David keeps turning towards God. 
His song invites us to do the same, whatever we're facing today, to continue to put our hope in Him...

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
