DECISION
Psalms 13
13:1 For the director of music. A psalm of David.
How long, O LORD? Will you forget me forever?How long will you hide your face from me? 2 How long must I wrestle with my thoughts and every day have sorrow in my heart?How long will my enemy triumph over me?
3 Look on me and answer, O LORD my God.Give light to my eyes, or I will sleep in death; 4 my enemy will say, "I have overcome him,"and my foes will rejoice when I fall.
5 But I trust in your unfailing love;my heart rejoices in your salvation. 6 I will sing to the LORD,for he has been good to me.
NIV
When I read this I thought how like us to go to God as if He is the problem when we can't feel His presence or when we get so far in SELF that all we see is the negative and when WE allow the enemy to overtake us, if only for a moment. We want to put it anywhere but where it belongs with us, we are responsible for our actions and the consequences of those actions. I think as David cried out, surely he heard what he was praying and at that point opened himself up to God and it was in verse 5 that he was able to receive what God had offered all along.
I see myself in those cries of David and in the end, whether it has been things I have brought on or the heartbreak of losing someone, I can say; I trust in your unfailing love, my heart rejoices in your salvation Lord, and I will sing to you because you have been good to me.
Glory be to God, He is on the move, stirring up His people, I love Him and I am ready (by faith) to move by the Spirit as He directs and leads me. How about you? Can we move together in unity to the places He would have us go, and the things He would have us do?
