Psalm 22
1-2 God, God ... my God!
Why did you dump me miles from nowhere?
Doubled up with pain, I call to God all the day long. No Answer. Nothing.
I keep at it all night, tossing and turning.
30-31 Our children and their children will get in on this
As the word is passed along from parent to child.
Babies not yet conceived will hear the good news-
that God does what he says.
These two contrasting parts I feel it's very relevant to me.
There are moments where I feel as if I can't feel God. I can go about my day, but suddenly I feel slowly getting far and away from God.
And once I 'make a call' to God. He always seem to answer, even though it takes some warm up to get there haha.
As a matter of fact, just happened this morning.
This week I was so distracted. Binged in games more than I would have liked.
Also had a date in mind that was distracting me. More in the sense that I wasn't interested, but I felt like I had to fulfill the promise to at least meet once.
At this point it's been dissolved, and I feel strangely relieved haha.
But now I feel like I need to do some catching up. Not that I didn't feel God with me during this week, but something about undivided attention.
This is what I'm used to giving to God. My undivided attention.
And I believe in this season that is important.
Once I popped some worship songs, to help me take in the right posture and place.
I slowly feel God's strength and confidence embracing me to keep going.
And just like that, like the psalmist, I went from 0 to 8, by God's grace.
Jesus, thank you Lord that you show up when we call for your name.
Jesus. Jesus. Jesus.
There's power in your name. Power to redeem and give us strength.
I pray Lord that you will constantly be our joy.
May the Joy of the Lord be our strentgh.
Thank you for all that you do. Thank you for making your presence known.
In your name I pray, Amen. Praise be to your name !
