haste to help me, O Lord, my salvation!"
Psalm 38:21-22
This psalm by David captures sorrow, pain and anguish. The feeling I
get is someone at the end of their rope clinging on to dear life. I
don't know what was going on in his life but if I were to place it in
the time of maybe his greatest lows it would be after Nathan
prophesied to him. But the key point here is not the fall but the
hope. Knowing God will always be there for him even though he didn't
see or hear Him; even when he sinned against Him.
I haven't been in this kind of pain before but I really feel his
struggles with my own strongholds. Some self-inflicted others
externally. But no matter how bad I think I have it I have something
so glorious that trumps everything... Jesus! Too often I allow
disappointment, conflict & misunderstandings to be my lord. I cannot
continue to do this. How can I lead my family if I'm weak? How can I
lead the body of Christ if I cannot hold onto God's word? These are
lessons and building blocks... accept the opportunity.
Loving Father, thank You for crafting me in my mother's womb. I pray
Lord that I recognize the holy and reject the impure within me. I
pray that I build Your temple within my heart so that Your kingdom
will grow mightily. Amen!
