"Behold, the eye of the LORD is on those who fear Him, on those who hope in His steadfast love, that He may deliver their souls from death and keep them alive in famine." Psalm 33:19
During the darkest of days the Lord promises to sustain us... that we will not be alone...
Oh that I would trust Him so fully that when dark days come I don't flinch but stand strong on His promises to be with me... that in the raging storms of life my soul and heart, and emotion and mind would be calm and still in the knowledge of who He is and how He loves me. I don't understand myself, how is it that I can I possibly forget His immensity in light of such feeble thing. How is it that I so quickly forget who He is... One glance at Job 38 & 39 leaves me breathless and longing for more of this God, this God who loves me so deeply and fully that He gave of Himself to make a way for us to be together again despite my constant rejection and forgetfulness.
I wish I could say I have "arrived" at a place where I know and trust Him fully but I can't... I can say that I am thirstier for our time together than ever before and that I am growing more and more in love with Him and I long that my actions would bring Him glory thought I fail constantly. I am continually learning to trust Him in every moment, and that at ever crisis He must be my first thought...
I am thankful that His loving me is not contingent on anything I do but on the Blood of Christ that was shed for me, on a rugged cross, on top of a hill, so long ago. I am thankful that I won't ever be good enough because if I could have saved myself I would have tried to. I am thankful that even on the best of days He reminds me of who He is and calls me to my knees in reverent worship.
