Ps 13 --- 13 Apr 2010

How long, O LORD, wilt thou forget me for ever? How long wilt thou hide thy face from me? How long shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart all the day? How long shall mine enemy be exalted over me? Consider and answer me, O LORD my God: lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death; Lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him; lest mine adversaries rejoice when I am moved. But I have trusted in thy mercy; my heart shall rejoice in thy salvation: I will sing unto the LORD, because he hath dealt bountifully with me.
Psalms 13:1-6

When we all seems to drown in sadness, despair, love-less, we thought that no one care about us, no one ever love us, and He, our Lord Savior, seems to forget about us at all. There are times that we feel sorrow, that our tears drops deep in our heart, and no one understand it, no one seems to bother it. At the same time our enemy goes against us, trying their very best to put us down, and we are as weak as the ant step by our own feet.

But He does care, He still there, listening to our prayer, feeling what we feel, thinking what we are thinking, yet not taking any action. Neither because He can’t, nor He doesn’t want to, but He love us so much that He want the best for us, even in such terrible circumstances. He will open our eyes, lightening us, in His time to see what He sees in us. He will save us from this darkest valley of death. He will grant us the greatest joy for us, to dwell in Him always.

I should trust His mercy always, even things happened to be getting worse. I will learn to rejoice in His salvation, for He saved us from the darkest age of our life, now He is saving us from all temptations, negative thoughts that go against Him, and He will, again, save us in the future, bringing us into the new Heaven. I will sing to Him, for He is gracious to me, always building my faith in Him, helping me to gaze on Him, wondering His mysterious act would lead me somewhere beyond my imagination. He is worthy to be praise, for the Lamb of God had died for us and bring us new hope of life.

6 April 2010

1O Lord, do not rebuke me in your anger,
or discipline me in your wrath.
2Be gracious to me, O Lord, for I am languishing;
O Lord, heal me, for my bones are shaking with terror.
3My soul also is struck with terror,
while you, O Lord—how long?
~~ Psalm 6:1-3

Not yet terror, I guess, but the weary soul in me, need your steadfast love to heal me. Have mercy on me O Lord! Whom else can I dwell so that I have eternal peace that mountain can't shake, waves of ocean can't wash away? Except You Lord my God?
Don't wait too long, my Lord, I pray. But let Your will be done, not mine. And help me want nothing more than You.
In Jesus name I pray, Amen.

5 April 2010

But as for me, in the multitude of Thy loving kindness will I come into Thy house: in Thy fear will I worship toward Thy holy temple.
Psalms 5:7

My dear Lord, please listen to me, as You are loving and kindness Lord. You knows the weary and broken I have before Thee. Search me, comfort me with Your Spirit, may I dwell in Your abundant mercies.

You are always good and kind. May I enjoy the heavenly peace and joy that You give through sufferings. Unto Your hands I commit my life, my way, my broken soul, my weary spirit, may that be a sacrifice on the altar that You pleasingly accept.

Lord my God, I pray that You continue to lead my life. In Thy fear I will worship You in Your holy temple. May Your tender mercy bless me, may Your joy fill my cup, till I want no more. O Lord, help me want You more than everything else.

In Jesus Christ, Lord Your holy name I pray, Amen.

Trust in the Lord with all my heart

Trust in the LORD with all thine heart, and lean not upon thine own understanding: In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
Proverbs 3:5-6

It was never easy to trust in the Lord, not even to say with all our heart. We tend to lean on our own understanding, experience, and knowledge. But here it says, we should trust in the Lord, with all our heart, (this heart also include mind) and not rely on our own understanding. Sometime this is so hard, cause we never see what He seen, know what He knows, and think the way He thinks. But if, we believe that He is good, wise, and love, we shall trust in Him in all circumstances, even those un-thought of events.

Acknowledge Him in all our ways; for He shall direct the paths we should follow. He is our guard, and our guide. He will lead us through what so ever we will encounter in our lives, whichever way that we should choose in making daily choices.

Sometime the path might seem to be weary; a lot of obstacles in it, and it were so hard for us to go through the path. We might be hurt, wound; sometime we can’t even continue the journey. But He will heal us, if not, He will simply carries us on His wings and bring us forward.

We need to trust Him, we should. Who else could compare our great Jehovah our Lord? Who else can we rely, or trust if not Him the Shepherd of our life?
