Friday 20th March ~ Psalm 102 ~ Psaumes 102

Jeremiah 19.14‐20.6 ~ Jérémie 19.14-20.6

Trust in Him 

I read Psalm 102, in particular vv 23‐28, just after reading that a relative will

not recover from his cancer and he's only 39. Meanwhile in the news the

world seems crazier every day, and full of hate.

I guess the above is a reminder from God that we will feel desperation, we

will fear for our futures and our children's futures. But God has all these

things in His hands, and He created us and all that's around us. He is greater

than all these things but He also knows and cares about them. So while this

won't stop us feeling afraid, we can know He is there and He is bigger than all

this.

So I pray that I may trust in Him, especially in those moments where things

seem most ugly and hopeless, and know that God is greater than all our

human cruelty.

Amen.
