Reading: Psalms 89 - 94
My Verse: "When the cares of my heart are many,
your consolations cheer my soul" (Psalm 94:18,19).
The theme of my blog has been, LORD God, that You enrich me. You, and You only can truly cheer my soul for You are the one that saves, the only one that can save! (John 14:6)
When the "cares of my heart" drag me down, You will lift me up into Your loving arms and carry me through!
Reading the Psalms has been a constant reminder of how we as humans cannot escape despondency, feeling low or being anxious about one thing or another. A common saying, "There is always something" refers to the constant fact of things going awry. The truth is that we live in a fallen world. Mankind is sinful - all humans commit sin! (Isaiah 53:6) Sin, my own sin and that of others will cause distress. It is how I deal with this distress that is important.
The cares of our heart can wear us down if we let them. It is often too easy to let oneself dwell on those cares and worry over them. I catch myself at that often. I realize I need to stop it! I need to look to You, LORD God and be reminded of all that You have saved me from. Yes, I may be struggling with something but I am not to dwell on it and worry over it - it is a total waste of time.
You love me and care about my concerns. You tell me to bring those concerns to You. (1 Peter 5:7)
We need only ask and You will keep us!
"Keep me as the apple of your eye; hide me in the shadow of your wings" (Psalm 17:8).
As a Christian, a follower of You, LORD God, You allow many things into my life to grow me, to teach me to draw nearer to You. (James 1:1-13)
I love the image this verse gives me!
" And we all, who with unveiled faces contemplate[a] the Lord’s glory, are being transformed into his image with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.(2 Corinthians 3:18).
Yes, I will have many cares while here on this earth! But, You LORD God will, if I allow You, use those cares to enrich and transform me beyond what I can even imagine! Thank You for helping me deal with the "cares of my heart."
Ditat Deus - God Enriches!
