Monday December 21 2009 COME QUICKLY LORD! I will announce the good news of righteousness among those assembled for worship. I will not close my lips. You know that, O LORD. I have not buried your righteousness deep in my heart. I have been outspoken about your faithfulness and your salvation. I have not hidden your mercy and your truth from those assembled for worship. Do not withhold your compassion from me, O LORD. May your mercy and your truth always protect me. Countless evils have surrounded me. My sins have caught up with me so that I can no longer see. They outnumber the hairs on my head. I have lost heart. O LORD, please rescue me! Come quickly to help me, O LORD! Let all those who seek to end my life be confused and put to shame. Let those who want my downfall be turned back and disgraced. Let those who say to me, "Aha! Aha!" be stunned by their own shame. Let all who seek you rejoice and be glad because of you. Let those who love your salvation continually say, "The LORD is great!" But I am oppressed and needy. May the Lord think of me. You are my help and my savior. O my God, do not delay! Psalm 40:9-17 Although God had brought David out of the mud and mire, there were many other dangerous places in his life that God had to bring him out of. It's the same with just about all of us. We make it through one storm only to find a more turbulent storm just ahead. So, what are we to do? God wants us to trust Him - no matter how dark the storm may appear until He pulls us through. If I remember correctly, Paul was shipwrecked, could barely see to read, was stoned, and placed in jail (not to mention the rejection of the people), but he praised and served Jesus through it all. Then, he told people about his experiences. Well, God wants us to tell people about our circumstances and His deliverance from those circumstances and failures to increase our faith as well as the faith of the people who hear it. He wants us to tell people about His blessings in our lives. In other words, God wants us to communicate with Him and with one another. So, go today and communicate with your friends and your Father. You are great Lord! Come quickly Lord, please, show us Your way. Please don't let our enemies gloat over our misfortune. Move us and set us on solid ground. Rebuild our lives and help us to become all that You would have us to be. We need Your grace to make it!
