Crave: Psalm 119: 81-88

1.Despite his feelings, what did the psalmist choose to do?
2.How can trusting what God says help us through a time of waiting?
3.What specific Bible verses can you hold on to as you wait for God’s next move?

1. The psalmist, despite his seemingly negative feelings still chose to wait on God and hope in His Word.

2. It helps us to wait eagerly, patiently and with all our heart for we know that He is alive, He knows, He listens and He understands. He also has His own ways far beyond what our minds can conceive He can do. In my case, it helps me to just hold on to Him, to call on Him and to pray. To tell Him everything that I have in mind and my feelings. I am assured that He listens and He knows.

3. I think I need to have a review, big time. I cannot remember the numbers of the passages but here are some: Every good and perfect gift comes from Him; Two is better than one; He makes all things beautiful in His time; Everything works for good to those who love Him; He gives me hope and a future and many others. And then I am still bothered from time to time. Whew!


In Reflection:
"I am worn out waiting for your rescue, but I have put my hope in your word."
-Psalm 119:81-

This message is just so timely for me. This is what I need now. I was not feeling good a while ago, my emotions were fooling me and lying to me again until I was given this message. There's no other option for me but to just pray, open my heart to God and just trust Him and trust Him with all my heart. I will listen to my heart but I will think and depend on God's Word more. I will acknowledge how I feel but will not live by it alone. Everything will be just according to God's laws and promises to me.
I will put my hope in His Word.

I will put my hope in You, Father God.
