Thoughts from Psalm 57




[57] Be merciful unto me, O God, be merciful unto me: for my soul trusteth in thee: yea, in the shadow of thy wings will I make my refuge, until these calamities be overpast.

Yes, Lord…..a calamity has come. Nobody feels it but me, but it is here…chemicals which have "set me back" again. But I sing this song this morning and feel Your presence…holding me…holding me. Until this calamity is gone….until I feel "normal" again…..please hold me tight!

I will cry unto God most high; unto God that performeth all things for me.

What a wonderful promise!

He shall send from heaven, and save from the reproach of him that would swallow me up. Selah. God shall send forth his mercy and his truth.

It is true….the devil is trying to destroy me…soul and body, but You are bigger….and You are sending Your forth Your MERCY…and the truth is that I am free. I am YOURS. He cannot destroy me….even if I die.

My soul is among lions: and I lie even among them that are set on fire, even the sons of men, whose teeth are spears and arrows, and their tongue a sharp sword.

Men are like lions, ripping me apart with their chemicals. But they are just the devil's tool. They are clueless and don't even realize the damage they cause.

Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens; let thy glory be above all the earth.

But thou art great! I lift Your name high this morning! Save me and heal me that YOU MAY BE GLORIFIED….that those around me will know that You are a great God!

They have prepared a net for my steps; my soul is bowed down: they have digged a pit before me, into the midst whereof they are fallen themselves. Selah.

Amen.

My heart is fixed, O God, my heart is fixed: I will sing and give praise.
Awake up, my glory; awake, psaltery and harp: I myself will awake early.
I will praise thee, O Lord, among the people: I will sing unto thee among the nations.

My heart if FIXED. FIXED.FIXED! I must go on singing! I must go on sharing! I must go on with my "witnessing projects" and ministry. I must go on with my singing projects! And I must SING and record! I must do my best to love my husband and children even if I can't be with them much. I must SHOW my love in the little ways I can when I can be with them.

For thy mercy is great unto the heavens, and thy truth unto the clouds.

I'm so glad You are MERCIFUL, Lord! That gives me HOPE that I will feel normal again……I just don't know how long I must suffer. Oh,please be MERCIFUL!

Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens: let thy glory be above all the earth.

Most of all, God, may YOU be exalted! I know I need to meditate on this much. I must not complain….that YOU may be glorified…that my family might see CHRIST in me, the hope of glory.

Yesterday I read this quote, and….wow…

"Hudson Taylor was so feeble in the closing months of his life that he wrote a dear friend: 'I am so weak I cannot write; I cannot read my Bible; I cannot even pray. I can only lie still in God's arms like a little child, and trust.'"

I want my heart to be FIXED like that, Lord! To love You to the end…if all I can do is rest in Your Almighty arms.

[57] Be merciful unto me, O God, be merciful unto me: for my soul trusteth in thee: yea, in the shadow of thy wings will I make my refuge, until these calamities be overpast.
