Psalms. Again, I was struck by a few verses in Psalms today. How I thank God that He gave us these words to search our own hearts and express ourselves to Him.
21 Then I realized that my heart was bitter, and I was all torn up inside. 22 I was so foolish and ignorant— I must have seemed like a senseless animal to you. 23 Yet I still belong to you; you hold my right hand. Psalm 73:21-23 (NLT) I discovered that the word "bitter" (v. 21) is the same word as "leaven." It can mean sour. I was struggling with stress when I recently met with my accountability partners. "I'm overwhelmed," I told them. Hoping for a word of kindness or encouragement, I was shocked to hear one of them say, "That happens when you are trying to control things you can't control." He further told me I needed to repent! After some thought, I realized he was right. I repented, turned over the situation to the Lord and my stress symptoms went away.
19 Your road led through the sea, your pathway through the mighty waters— a pathway no one knew was there! Psalm 77:19 (NLT) Our lives are full of impossible challenges and impassable trails. Thank God that He knows the answers and has paths we can't see!
How about you? What do you see today?
