Another Day, Another Crisis

(Psa 138:3 KJV)  In the day when I cried thou answeredst me, and strengthenedst me with strength in my soul.

It was a rough day.  Things were said that made me want to crawl back into my hole, pull the rug over the entrance, and just hide myself from creation.  I don’t know if you have those days.  I have my share.  And in the midst of this time, when I am ready to give up and turn in my man card, the Lord reaches out to me, and “strengthens” (5797) my soul.

A couple of things are necessary for this miracle to take place.  What I find is that I need to be willing to reach out, to extend myself toward God himself.  Another is I need to be willing to listen.  Now God is able to overcome both of these, but it certainly makes it quicker if I open myself up.  Above all I have to believe that He is going to meet with me and since He has done it many times it tends to get a little bit easier each time.

So?  I rejoice in the knowledge that He has answered, and in the assurance that He will answer.  As a result, I am again able to hold my head up, step out, and face the day in the confidence that God is not done with me yet.
