Psalm 13

I was recently reading someone's blog post on Psalm 13 which sparked me to read it myself and this is what I found:

"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. "

Recently I have the same feelings as David that God is hiding His plan and His face from me. In looking for a job and moving sometimes it's hard to realize that God's plan is perfect. David begins this passage honestly saying this is how I feel and then ends with what he knows to be true of God and how God works. The Message translates the last few verses this way:

"I've thrown myself headlong into your arms—
I'm celebrating your rescue.
I'm singing at the top of my lungs,
I'm so full of answered prayers."

So here I am "throwing" myself "headlong" into the arms of my father and celebrating His rescue and knowing that the prayers for a job and the prayers for my future will be answered. This verse was sent straight to me!!!! :) Even when I feel that things aren't going the way they should and God seems no where to be found I will continually through myself into the arms of God and trust that His plan is perfect. Until then I will continue it what He has called me.

Loving well,
