Thoughts for another day

Today's verse:  Ps. 118:14. The LORD is my strength and song, and is become my salvation. (KJV)

(Pls. read the above before you read further.  Thanks)

Journeying through this life can indeed be tiring and confusing at some times and having lived for fifty years in this world, I can say, there’re situations when you really want to hang your head and call it a day.  The pressures press so hard that the infliction of pain becomes unbearable and there’s no solace anywhere.  But like David, I always look up to the sky for thence will come my help.  I look up to my God who though in heaven, isn’t too far that, I cry out and He cannot hear.  He isn’t so unseen that I cannot feel Him and in each day’s moments there’re those times when I stoop to worship Him and I find solace.

I remember all the great things He has done in my life.  There were times I was so weary and I recall Him giving me strength…then again I must confess I hadn’t recognized this strength having come from Him.  When I in sorrow, I remember His soothing aura over me for I realise He had covered me under the span of His wings and assured me of joy in the long run.  I’ve lost so much in life yet, He reminds me of the gain in the future which will be so much that it will be impossible for me to keep track of, on account of its sheer size; and this because He is there.  The end, He tells me will be so great and that’s what matters…for we know that what happens at the end is what matters more in life than what happened in its course.

Truly my heart leaps when I say, My God, my LORD, my friend is my strength and my song.  You see there’s a song in my heart despite experiencing jadedness and a wearing out.  I can’t explain the origin of the light-heartedness when I know I should be having a heavy heart.  But I know one thing and that He my God, is at my side; He lifts me up when I’m down, He motivates me when despair hits and He presses me to move when the trouble weighs down like rocks upon me.  And He releases me from my agony and I can truly say He is my salvation.  Yea, this much faith He has given me that I know He my God will show me better days and He will keep me and of course you too, my friend  safe, for remember He has our names etched on the palms of His hands.
