Psalm
129:3
The
plowers plowed upon my back: they made long their furrows.
The
rookie lawyer made his case, than sat down feeling very pleased with himself.
Then the fireworks began. The defense picked apart every argument he made and
humiliated him before judge and jury. The judge pulled him aside and told him
to put in more time next time, and the opposing lawyer just laughed and thanked
him for making his job so easy. With tail tucked between his legs, the young
lawyer beat a hasty retreat.
There
will be days when things don't just go wrong, they self-destruct totally. When
we feel we've gone as low as we possibly can, something else comes along to
drive us deeper still. From those depths there is only one place to turn: God.
He has seen all, He knows how you feel, and He patiently waits to take you into
His arms to comfort and soothe you. When we feel pushed beyond our ability to
cope, it is good to know God is there.
Prayer:
In times of total darkness, shine Your light into my life. Help me to pick
myself up and start again. Give me strength, Lord. Amen
