When I am in trouble or when I am sailing wonderfully through life there are 2 things that I desire to know. However when I am in trouble my need factor rises because of my heart’s need to be reassured that I am not alone in this trial. When I am in the middle of it, my heart cries out to God for help and there are 2 things that I NEED to know.
"One thing God has spoken, two things have I heard: that you, O God, are strong, and that you, O Lord, are loving. Surely you will reward each person according to what he has done." (Psalm 62:11-12, NIV)
I need to know and trust that God is strong and able to help me. After that, and most importantly, I need to KNOW that God is loving and more importantly, that He loves me. I need to know that He is with me in trouble - in all of life! Without His encouragement, without my knowledge of His strength and love, I am lost. So it follows then, when I am depressed, discouraged and feeling like any of life’s challenges are a hopeless case, I have forsaken that knowledge and turned to trusting myself.
You are my rock, my salvation, my fortress and my reward! In you alone will I trust!
