Where are you?
Psa 22:1 My God, my God, why are you turned away from me? why are you so far from helping me, and from the words of my crying?
O, my God, I make my cry in the day, and you give no answer, and in the night, and have no rest. But I feel like a worm, far less than human, and I am hated and rejected by people everywhere. Everyone who sees me makes fun and sneers. They shake their heads and mock me. But you, LORD, brought me safely through birth, you protected me when I was a baby at my mother’s breast. From the day I was born, I have been in your care, and from the time of my birth, you have been my God. Don’t stay afar off when I am in trouble with no one to help me. Brutal enemies attack me like a pack of dogs, tearing at me. Don’t stay far away, LORD! My strength comes from you, so hurry and help me. Rescue me from my enemy and save me from the dogs and haters.
Ever felt like no one cares? Like ur so alone, so helpless and hopeless? Like even God has forgotten n forsaken you? What a lie, God has promised he “will never leave you nor forsake you” Hum interesting how we cry out to god when In need and in trouble. How we blame him for the bad and seldom for the good. How do we feel, he has abandoned and left us? When it is us who have abandoned and rejected him, us who have taken him for granted. Most times are difficult and painful circumstances and situations are of our own doing and making. And the reason we feel lonely, rejected or abandoned? Is because we are not and have not been in right relationship with our God. We have not kept in touch with him, not really considered him, appreciated him, or loved him. But ahh here is the amazing thing about our God, did anyone notice the verse where God claims he has watched over us from day one? From our birth? And there it is we ought to know He is ever merciful, ever present, ever ready, always available, and willing to listen, love and move on our behalf. If only, If only? We would allow him in and over our lives… He wants a relationship!
And if you remain in right relationship with God, you too can live and experience the following scripture!
Psa 23:1 The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.
He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for
Thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.
