THE LOVE OF GOD FOR HIS PEOPLE NEVER FAILS

While reading Psalm 13, I was impressed to send you a few words ofencouragement I have gleaned from this blessed chapter.David penned the words contained in this Psalm. He asked, "How long will youforget me, Lord? Forever? How long will you hide your face from me? How longshall I have sorrow in my heart daily? How long will the enemy be exaltedoverme?"It sounds as if David felt that God had altogether left him to suffer, towakeup each day with a black cloud hanging over him. For a season, David spokeoutof despair: "God, will this feeling of isolation go on forever? When will myprayers be answered?"When troubles assail us though we know we love the Lord - when deliveranceseems distant and hopeless - we sink under the pressure. Right now, someonereading these words is sinking under the awful pressure of a situation thatseems to be unsolvable. They are on the verge of total despair, hoping acalm will come if only for a break in their trial.In the midst of his own trial, David asked, "How long shall I take counselin my soul?" He had formed one plan after another, trying to devise ways out ofhis trouble - but all his plans, all arrangements, had failed. Now he hadnothing else to think of, no workable solution. He was at the end of it all.How upsetting it is to see a ray of hope, a bit of sunshine, but thendespair once again sets in. Keep in mind, this all happened to a godly man, someoneafter God's heart. David was a man who testified of having great trust inthe Lord. Yet, like us, David went through hard times, as he describes in thisPsalm. How did David arise from this pit of despair? "I will trust in your mercy.I will sing." Let me share with you reasons to keep trusting your way through your presenttrials: No matter how the storms may rage, our precious Lord will still be feedingthe fowls of the air, dressing the lilies of the field, and supplying anoceanfull of fish with their daily needs. "Your heavenly Father feedeth them."Not one bird ever falls to the ground without the Father's eye upon it.. What kind of Father would feed all the creatures of the earth and yetneglect his children? Jesus exhorted us to "give no thought" to everydayneeds and problems, "for he careth for you."Truly, the Lord loves you, and he will not turn a deaf ear to your cries.Hold on to his promises. Move on in faith. Wait on him patiently. He will neverfail you.

With His Love,
