When You Are Afraid, Overwhelmed, Out of Hope

Many times we may feel fearful, overwhelmed, and out of hope with nowhere to turn, no one to help. It is at times like these that simply sitting still and reading Psalm 142 will uplift, shine the light and restore our faith.

Psalm 142 King James Version (KJV)
142 I cried unto the Lord with my voice; with my voice unto the Lord did I make my supplication.

2 I poured out my complaint before him; I shewed before him my trouble.

3 When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, then thou knewest my path. In the way wherein I walked have they privily laid a snare for me.

4 I looked on my right hand, and beheld, but there was no man that would know me: refuge failed me; no man cared for my soul.

5 I cried unto thee, O Lord: I said, Thou art my refuge and my portion in the land of the living.

6 Attend unto my cry; for I am brought very low: deliver me from my persecutors; for they are stronger than I.

7 Bring my soul out of prison, that I may praise thy name: the righteous shall compass me about; for thou shalt deal bountifully with me.

King James Version (KJV)

It is my prayer for you that you know that you always have a place of refuge, comfort, help, guidance and strength. Simply turn inward when all that is external offers no assistance.

Read this Psalm silently or aloud with sincerity. Spend some quiet time with it to the depth of its appeal.

Sometimes, as I found in my own experience, God will not allow us any external help so that we are forced to turn to Him, but we are given the instructions, the path to follow, the course to take, if only we will. The tendency at these points, is to release our anger, scream, yell, cuss, beg, bargain, cry; and we may, as did David, and then we too must make our supplication with heartfelt sincerity, fully trusting that we will receive the guidance, comfort and resolution that is needed.

Have a blessed day and may the grace of God be with you.

Bible Will Teach You How to Know Your Enemy; Know Your Self

When we study the Word, and we are given the ears to hear, and the ability to discern, we can then be confident of the truth from wherever it comes. Last night in re-watching the movie, “Birth of the Dragon,” I was able to understand so much more due to my Bible studies. From the movie, “Lesson number one, know your enemy. Lesson number two, know your self. With these two principles, you need never fear a thousand battles.” This was so heavy and so profound and I got it on such a deep spiritual level regarding all facets of life (not just regarding two men in physical combat). The Bible has shown me how to know my enemy and to know my self and therefore not fear. When we truly understand that we are an eternal child of God, then we know our self . When we understand that anyone or thing (including our own thoughts) that is not in the light of God is of the darkness (even those lost in the gray), then we know our enemy. Jesus said in Mathew 12:30, “He t...

He Will Make My Feet Like Deer's Feet

There is a tree out my window with branches that look like a stag. I have been contemplating it for years. Sometimes I forget about it, others I see it. The tree stag has been jumping out at me recently again. I looked it up and found a couple quotes on websites, “the stag came to symbolize God’s power, nobility, freedom and purity.” In Scottish lore, it symbolizes regeneration because of the antlers. “In the Christian imagination, the deer is a symbol of piety, devotion and of God taking care of his children: men.” “In it's simplest form, deer symbolize the joys of loving Christ intimately (Song of Songs 2:7). In biblical symbology, deer represent piety, devotion, and safety in God's care. They are a symbol of thirst and longing for the Lord. ... Deer feet are an analogy for our spiritual feet.” There were also a couple saints associated with the stag as divine encounters. It basically represents something good in every culture, but I went with the Scottish...
