This evening, as I thought over the “goings on” of my life, I realized there are many of my friends and loved ones who are going through such difficult circumstances. Illness, loss of a family member, relationship struggles, uncertain job or economic status – the list is long and heartbreaking.
Normally, I post thoughts and ideas from my own personal life that tie together with Scripture to encourage my blog readers. But today, I’ve got nothing. Well, nothing of my own creation. Just this: For all who have put their trust in Him, there is hope!
It is my prayer that all who read this passage and bind these words to their heart find His strength for their journey.
19 Oh, how great is Your goodness,
Which You have laid up for those who fear You,
Which You have prepared for those who trust in You
In the presence of the sons of men!
20 You shall hide them in the secret place of Your presence
From the plots of man;
You shall keep them secretly in a pavilion
From the strife of tongues.21 Blessed be the LORD,
For He has shown me His marvelous kindness in a strong city!
22 For I said in my haste,
“I am cut off from before Your eyes”;
Nevertheless You heard the voice of my supplications
When I cried out to You.23 Oh, love the LORD, all you His saints!
For the LORD preserves the faithful,
And fully repays the proud person.
24 Be of good courage,
And He shall strengthen your heart,
All you who hope in the LORD.
