Psalm 38.5-“For in you, O Lord, have I fixed my hope; you will answer me, O Lord my God
God knows us. Better than we know ourselves. He knows the challenges we face, the things that trouble us and seek to keep us up at night. He knows the road ahead. Whether that looks or is good or bad, God’s promise is the same. “I will be with you”. We can hope in many things, but the hope spoken of above does not mean a forlorn wistfulness that something may happen because maybe God cares and is listening. No. Rather it is said in the knowledge that God is truly with us. He is the most solid thing in existence, as the Hymn says, “the solid rock”. We are meant to build our lives on that mighty stone. God truly is forging a path ahead that He wants us to know and wants us to follow. Our God is a speaking God. We have only to listen. Take a moment today and be still before the Lord, knowing He is God, which means all things are under His control and He is with you. Seek to listen, God is speaking. He will answer us! Let Him lead us into His plans.
