Hebrews 7.1-10 ~ Hébreux 7.1-10
John 8.31-47 ~ Jean 8.31-47
God, you have my back...
Have you ever had those days when you think everything is going wrong,
when nothing seems right, where every conversation seems charged and
stressful, where you feel there is no hope? I think that the Psalmist was
having one of those days when he wrote this magnificent Psalm.. He talks of
being afraid, of feeling hounded yet as he frets and stresses he knows God is
there, he knows God is beside him and he knows that it is in God he can put
his trust.
Putting our trust in God is hard, especially when we may not be sure where
God actually is in our lives. But God wants us to trust him and show himself in
our lives. God is the light that never goes out, even in the darkest of the dark.
He can take away fear and dry our tears. He can catch us before we fall and
help us walk tall. Lent can sometimes seem like a time of darkness, a time
when we wait for the glory and light of the resurrection but even as we wait
we are reminded in this Psalm that God is never gone from us. We do not
have to wait for Him at a special place and a special time. He is here now,
beside us, walking through life with us, even in the darkest of moments and
the darkest of days. What a gift, what a reassurance, what thanks must we
give to our Lord.
