So I am sitting in a computer room at the Conference Center for the Pastor's Conference. I stepped out of the room where the speaker is talking, just felt the need for my quiet time with God. I so loved the Psalm for the day that I read.
Psalm 138:6-8 "Though the Lord is on high, he looks upon the lowly, but the proud he knows from afar..." How important it is to seek the Lord to be humble. That there is nobody to low to love and how easily pride can creep in. I do not want pride to keep me at a distance from the Lord. Pay attention!
"...Though I walk in the midst of trouble, you preserve my life;" Isn't that the best? Earlier I was sitting and talking with my mother in law. By the way, the best mom ever! Anyway, I was sharing life with her, tears and all. Then she shared with me the fears of dad's eye surgery next week. Tears and all! But I love what happened next. I felt in my spirit that we should pray together, so I took her hand and we just prayed together over our concerns/fears. Both knowing what we know, both knowing that God has it ALL, both knowing the truth of Jesus presence, but both having fears and concerns. We love how Jesus loves us through it all. He will preserve our life - so beautiful and so comforting. Pray it all the time.
"...with your right hand you save me. The Lord will fulfill his purpose for me; your love, O Lord, endures forever -" More words of truth - the truth that we must claim and must live. If I/we ever doubt that he has a purpose for us just keep reading this verse over and over until the truth sticks. I love the thought of his right hand saving me - I get this picture of Jesus hand gently guiding me along. Sometimes he has to give me a push to get my attention but he does have a purpose in my life. He does have a purpose for your life. That is the truth!!!!!
Take the time to be with him, to be still and quiet with him. He is mighty to save. Amen
