Psalm 42:8 Yet the Lord will command his loving kindness in the day time, and in the night his song shall be with me, and my prayer unto the God of my life.
His loving kindness is the safety net which holds me up as I cast about on life's troubled sea. Come what may there is a secret something that he throws out at me and sweetens all the bitterness which, at times, tries to pull me under.
As I look back over my life, these last 12 years have been miraculous. Truly God is the God of my salvation!
Another day has dawned in this era of grace and I find Him still faithful. He is sovereign. Therefore I will rejoice in this day.
No stress of trial shall prevent His presence in my life. In the darkness I shall take to remembrance His mercies and blessings which He has bestowed upon me. When I think on all this it's as music unto my heart. A song of praise can not help but gush forth from my mouth. He is God alone. He is omnipresent. He KNOWS who I am. And He knows the direction He wants to take me.
He uses all things for good.
Affliction may breathe on my candle, dimming it somewhat, but it shall not silence my song. My prayers are yoked with praise unto the God of all. I am assured of this one thing; all my sighs and my songs have free access to His Throne. He hears me and He understands. Only God can take that which is shattered, mend it, and make it stronger than what it was before.
To be assured of this is to have reason for hope even in the most deplorable of circumstance.
Wherever you find yourself at this moment, God hears you, my friend. He has not forsaken. Ignite your mouth with praise and your candle will shine bright as the noon day again. Hope thou in God!
