working extended hours in my pathetic KK here and i was going through my email and found this bible reading plan 2012..
been doing quiet time almost every day since more than a month ago.. ok, maybe every two to three days....... and today i found this pretty good bible reading plan by YouVersion..
as i clicked in, this came out..
Psalm 6
1 Lord, do not rebuke me in your anger
or discipline me in your wrath.2 Have mercy on me, Lord, for I am faint;
heal me, Lord, for my bones are in agony.3 My soul is in deep anguish.
How long, Lord, how long?4 Turn, Lord, and deliver me;
save me because of your unfailing love.5 Among the dead no one proclaims your name.
Who praises you from the grave?6 I am worn out from my groaning.
All night long I flood my bed with weeping
and drench my couch with tears.7 My eyes grow weak with sorrow;
they fail because of all my foes.8 Away from me, all you who do evil,
for the Lord has heard my weeping.9 The Lord has heard my cry for mercy;
the Lord accepts my prayer.10 All my enemies will be overwhelmed with shame and anguish;
they will turn back and suddenly be put to shame.
and as i was reading through the comments.. words started to flow in my head.. and there was this particular comment that moved me..
"At times in our life, we just have no more to give. We can do nothing more. The challenges have taken their toll.
David felt this pain. He exclaimed, "[a]ll night I flood my bed with weeping." Can you feel the emotion in those words? It wasn't a temporary feeling in insecurity that produced some anxiety--it was an all night flood of tears.
In this situation, he went to God and laid out his heart. He was honest with God. In this, he knew the Lord had heard his plea and would answer his prayer. I pray for such confidence.
Even with this confidence, David's emotions were still very raw. But, he knew he could trust the one that knows the plans He has for us.
God is big enough to handle our honest revelations of what is bothering us. After all, he knows all before we have even revealed anything. Go to Him, allow Him to take your burdens. Give them to Him.."
Exactly how i felt lately. even with the confidence that God is definitely with me, im still weak as a person.. More than thankful for His words. am still struggling. but ill never stop trying and trying to continue to fix my eyes upon Him in this bumpy race that im in.
thank You Lord.
1 drop-bys on "stopped asking why."
Thank you Lord... Thank you Lord indeed. I cannot stop thanking Him for the strength He has given. Hang on there, He is fixing.
