Today's scripture: Psalm 57:2-3
How often do I "cry to God most high"? Almost every day. I honestly think that's one of the greatest blessings of living with chronic health issues.
Blessings? you ask. Yes. Blessings.
I'm a pretty independent person, and I like to be in control. Or at least I used to be. Over the years, however, I've learned that I have no control. Not really. I need help—sometimes, I need a lot of help! When the bone-weariness and over-the-top pain make me want to pull the covers over my head and hibernate, I recognize my own weakness ... and my need for God's help.
Then I read verses like today's, and I am comforted. I know when I cry out to God, He hears me. He will take care of me. He will accomplish His purpose in and through me—if only for today. He will send help and save me from whatever I face.
Mostly? He will "send forth His lovingkindness," or as The Message says, "deliver generous love."
I pray you find hope and comfort in His promises. Cry out to Him; He will hear you.
