The Lord is waiting for us

15th July 2013

SEEDS FOR HARVESTING 8/25

Psalm 9:10

“For you O Lord do not abandon

those who search for you.”

 

When we are at our lowest,

these words from the Lord

should lift us up. 

They should revive our spirits and give us new hope.

 

We so easily separate

our downcast experience

 from the God of Hope. 

He does not separate himself from us.

 

When we most need him,

he is always with us

even when we pass through

 “the valley of the shadow of death.”

 

The Word reminds us

that we do not just sit and mope

about our predicaments.

It reminds us that we must ‘search’

for God in our need. 

“Search and you will find” Jesus says.

 

I am always so amazed

that just around the corner

the Lord is waiting for us. 

Sometimes it is through

the actions of another

who may not even be a follower of Jesus.

Sometimes it is in a sympathetic word spoken.

 

He is always waiting expecting a request from us.
