Turn to God

Psalm 38       Psaume 38

Genesis 49.1-32    Hebrews 6.13-end    John 8.12-30
Genèse  49.1-32    Hébreux 6.13- fin     Jean 8.12-30

King David is really hurting. It strikes me that, when our soul is suffering, we often feel or imagine a physical pain instead. Easier to justify, maybe, still, in today's society. In times of suffering, or when we know we've done wrong, we also tend to forget where to turn. We just carry on trying to sort things out ourselves. "I have become like one who does not hear, whose mouth can offer no reply". And then King David remembers: "Lord, I wait for you. You will answer, Lord my God". It gives comfort to know that even mighty men like King David sinned and turned away from God. Let us remember to turn to God in times of trouble and not get caught up in the suffering and dwell in our
sin. God has promised to forgive those who truly repent.
