Psalm 77
Father…You have been good to me. Without a doubt, You have done far greater than I deserve. Why you love me and give me another chance is beyond my human understanding. I also know You love the foulest sinner, the meanest person, and the worst offenders…people that aren't my friends. Jesus died for us -- for me -- while still in sin. And the most amazing thing is this: You want to be close to me; have a relationship with me; and draw near to me. Just amazing.
There have been times when You would not let me sleep (4) because of trouble and conflict. And I couldn't figure out why You didn't just rush in and rescue me (9). But I always remember Your works in the past and Your ancient wonders (11). I reflect and remember the many times You helped me; walked with me; and redeemed me.
I don't see the big picture You see. I don't always understand what it is You're doing, or what You're trying to accomplish in me, or why You would allow certain things to occur. When those times of confusion and doubt come, help me to reflect and help me to remember the things You've done before…starting with my salvation!
So many blessings that You've provided out of Your love and mercy. Truly, You must delight in blessing even me. There's no other explanation. Today, I want to abide in You and let Your words abide in me. I am second.~
