If you think that He is distant — fear not — He is closer than you think. I had a rough start yesterday, but then I took some time to read His Word…Well, it could not have been more obvious that He is there (considering that my day was falling apart…)
Many are rising against me;
many are saying of my soul,
there is no salvation for him in God.
Selah
But you, O LORD, are a shield about me,
my glory, and the lifter of my head.
I cried aloud to the LORD,
and he answered me from his holy hill.
Selah
I lay down and slept;
I woke again, for the LORD sustained me.
I will not be afraid of many thousands of people
who have set themselves against me all around.
Arise, O LORD!
Save me, O my God!
For you strike all my enemies on the cheek;
you break the teeth of the wicked.
Salvation belongs to the LORD;
your blessing be on your people!
Selah” ~ Psalm 3 (ESV)
So, next time you feel a little down or think He is not there for you — dust of your Bible and feast on His Word.
On another note…If you like Darlene’s posts on CWO, than you will enjoy her new Blog “God, Four Kids, and a Dead Fish Named Sniff” …Yup – Darlene is back in the blogging loop. Why don’t you visit her new Blog and say “Hi”…
Blessings on your day and always,
I’ve been feeling a bit distant too, a bit down and out. I do feel a little better today, your post has reminded me how I really need to stay in the Word of God. Hugs.
You always have exactly what I need when I come here, Iris. Thank you so much. I feel a little out of control with the season upon us…always do at first. Seems it takes me all month to settle down and snuggle closer to His heart. Why is that? I’m going to feast a little after this, though. His Word is always the antidote to what ails me. Love you bunches!
mmmmm.
exactly – when i forget to eat right – i start to feel lousey. my head hurts, my body hurts….it’s hard to function.
and so in the natural – is the spiritual. i need life daily infused into my spirit. or it starts to wither…perceptions get a little unbalanced.
God bless you!
This was exactly what I needed, of course. Praise the Lord that He is what we need.
Great reminder! 🙂 Thanks!
Very inspirational.
May you have a great weekend sweet friend. And thank you for these verses they are just what I needed to read.
