Today is January 5th.Grace to all who love our Lord Jesus Christ with an undying love.Take a moment and quiet yourself. Take a deep breath. Welcome God’s presence. And say, “Come Holy Spirit.”Today’s reading is from Psalm 13.How long, Lord? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me? How long must I wrestle with my thoughts and day after day have sorrow in my heart? How long will my enemy triumph over me? Look on me and answer, Lord my God. Give light to my eyes, or I will sleep in death, and my enemy will say, “I have overcome him,” and my foes will rejoice when I fall. But I trust in your unfailing love; my heart rejoices in your salvation. I will sing the Lord’s praise, for he has been good to me.The writer of this song feels forgotten by God. The experience of being forgotten is as old as memory. It’s something that is like a wrestling of thoughts. God you say you love me, but if you love me then why are you not answering me? Have you wrestled with doubt? What are you wrestling with today?The Psalmist says it’s also like a sorrow in the heart, a sadness, to feel forgotten. Have you ever experienced a spiritual depression in your life?As you hear the Psalm again, pay attention to how the song moves from sadness to seeking, to asking, and then to believing.As you walk through your day, can you incline your heart to trust in God’s unfailing love, can you allow your heart to rejoice in your salvation?Lord God, Almighty and everlasting Father, you have brought me in safety to this new day: Preserve me with your mighty power, that I may not fall into sin, nor be overcome by adversity; and in all I do, direct me to the fulfilling of your purpose; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.Music: Faithful One - Vineyard Worship - (YouTube)
