Another Sunday morning has come and passed.
This Sunday we took a look at Psalm 13:
Psalm 13
For the director of music. A psalm of David.
1 How long, O LORD ? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me?
2 How long must I wrestle with my thoughts and every day have sorrow in my heart? How long will my enemy triumph over me?
3 Look on me and answer, O LORD my God. Give light to my eyes, or I will sleep in death;
4 my enemy will say, “I have overcome him,” and my foes will rejoice when I fall.
5 But I trust in your unfailing love; my heart rejoices in your salvation.
6 I will sing to the LORD , for he has been good to me.
If this doesn’t ring a bell with those of us familiar with recovery issues, I don’t know what does. It can seem like forever to us when we are stuck in a bad situation. We wrestle with our thoughts, desires, habits and actions.
I believe that placing our trust in God can mean bringing safe people into relationship with ourselves. Safe people who can be with us during bad times are like a healing medicine. May our God help us to be that medicine in other’s lives.
