I will rejoice and be glad in Your lovingkindness,
Because You have seen my affliction;
You have known the troubles of my soul,
And You have not given me over
into the hand of the enemy;
You have set my feet in a large place.
-Psalm 31:7&8

Another gem of a verse. I don't know what I'd do without the Psalms. There are so many that hit home. I praise God for David's affliction, troubles, depression, struggles, turmoil, etc. Isn't that awful? But because of his troubles and the things he wrote I am so comforted and blessed. God is using the man's struggles thousands of years after the fact. Any reason He can't use my troubles to bless others? I think not. That's sort of exciting.
The pic of couse is great. Love the light, the water, the movement. So cool. Love you, Christa!
Thanks Janet. This goes to prove the truth of the verse He will comfort us with the comfort He wants us to give to others. We receive comfort from the Psalms because what David wrote was comfort to himself from the Lord. You are so right when you say that God will use your struggles to bless others. He has already and will contiue to.
Love you, too!
What a picture of the simple joys in life, Christa! I can't help but draw an analogy between our joyful worship of the Lord and the sight of a child jumping. That is worship beautifully captured on film. Thanks for that image of worship...
Love,
Lynne
Lynne, I am with you all the way...it such an expression of joy when a child leaps into the air. Thanks for your thoughts!
You are very welcome, Christa! There was a concurrent serenity and bubbling joy inherent in that picture that touched me. It is very representative of all of us as His children when we dance before Him.
Have a cup o'joy,
...and rock on with your blessed self...
Lynne
