Yet, He is what?

If you have a chance to read the first half of Psalm 22, verses 1-18, you will find that it's basically David crying out to God saying... "God, you have left me. I'm being attacked. I'm hungry. I'm thirsty. I'm shriveling away. I have no strength. I have nothing. WHERE ARE YOU, GOD?!?!"

There are times we may feel alone and abandoned by people and the reality is maybe, we are. There are times when we feel like our strength is gone and maybe, it is. There are times when we may be hungry, thirsty and walking the streets.... abused, attacked and left to die. 

Pretending like these things aren't real means one has shut their eyes to the reality of pain that surrounds us and those in our community who are lost and hurting. This world can be brutal, this world can let us down.

Yet, in the midst of this, as David begins his cry for God to simply respond, David says this: "Yet, you are holy, enthroned on the praises of Israel.” Psalms 22:3

Life can suck, it really can, YET God is on the throne and worthy to be praised!

If you are in the thick of it, lost, alone, hurt and
desperate, you, like David, in the midst of the pain can still cry out and say "Yet, You are Holy"

It's hard. I know, I have been there, but that soul stretching cry is the chorus that reaches straight to the ears of God who sees, hears, responds and loves.

Our Lord doesn't sit on a cold throne. He sits on a heavenly throne of praise that extends to the the depth of where we are right down to the very whisper of our heart. We are not alone.

I’ve been hearing God tell me “I will never leave you” these past few days. Thank you for your post.

Oh...sister. This valley I’m walking through is far longer and deeper than I could have expected. Have I cried out to God? Yes. Have I wept from the depths of my soul? Yes and yes. Felt abandoned? Yes! Wondered if God cares about my prayers?? It’s hard to admit, but yeah...

But not one terrible thing that’s been thrown my way has been powerful enough to undo me. Not one weapon formed against me has stood long enough to end me. Not one whisper against my name has formed fully enough to even hold any weight.

Would I wish my last 3 years of life in anyone? No. But I do know that I’m being formed into a wholer more dynamic and nuanced human, more able to empathize with and love the least of these among us.

And I still say God is good...thanks in part to your song. Because often times I don’t know what to say.

Love you! Thanks for sharing this good word! 💞

    The Blog

    A collection of writings from a life based on the truth that about midnight anything can happen.
    Acts 16:25

    ​Paul and Silas, as they prayed and sang hymns to God, saw chains come loose.

    Today, we still see God doing the same thing in response to our prayers and praise and because of His great love for us.

    As an imperfect servant of the Lord, I often feel I am fumbling my way through life, looking upward for guidance and outward to love. So, I write about it, to break up the noise in my head.
