“In the day when I cried thou answeredst me, and
strengthenedst me with strength in my soul.”
Psalm 138:3
What an assurance in the time of trial, when the night is at its
darkest, to know that we can cry out to the Lord and that He will
answer. We can call someone on the phone and it may ring and ring.
But when we get desperate enough for God, He will answer us.
Children of God, the Lord is near us and is aware of everything that
is touching our lives. He knows the deepest burden of heart and the
trial of faith.
When it seems we can’t go another step, when the doubts of the enemy
assail us, let us lift our heart and soul to the Lord. Some may
promote the gospel as something that will remove all desperation and
tears. I freely confess that there are times that I have been
desperate. My desperation was turned to God and He in His
faithfulness heard my cry and answered me.
God ministers to us at the deepest level of our being. Others may
minister to the outward man, but it is God and God alone who is able
to strengtheneth our soul. He gives grace, power, courage, and faith
to the desperate soul who leans hard on Him in time of trial.
Let us bring our burdens and weaknesses to the Lord in assurance. In
turn, God will begin to minister to our burdened and troubled
spirit. Hence, in our weakness, we can be renewed and divinely
strengthened such that we can face the day with true peace and
victory in Christ.
