Hearing

Psalm 77

For the director of music. For Jeduthun. Of Asaph. A psalm.

1 I cried out to God for help;
I cried out to God to hear me.

2 When I was in distress, I sought the Lord;
at night I stretched out untiring hands
and my soul refused to be comforted.

3 I remembered you, O God, and I groaned;
I mused, and my spirit grew faint.
Selah

4 You kept my eyes from closing;
I was too troubled to speak.

5 I thought about the former days,
the years of long ago;

6 I remembered my songs in the night.
My heart mused and my spirit inquired:

7 "Will the Lord reject forever?
Will he never show his favor again?

8 Has his unfailing love vanished forever?
Has his promise failed for all time?

9 Has God forgotten to be merciful?
Has he in anger withheld his compassion?"
Selah

10 Then I thought, "To this I will appeal:
the years of the right hand of the Most High."

11 I will remember the deeds of the LORD;
yes, I will remember your miracles of long ago.

12 I will meditate on all your works
and consider all your mighty deeds.

13 Your ways, O God, are holy.
What god is so great as our God?

14 You are the God who performs miracles;
you display your power among the peoples.

15 With your mighty arm you redeemed your people,
the descendants of Jacob and Joseph.
Selah

16 The waters saw you, O God,
the waters saw you and writhed;
the very depths were convulsed.

17 The clouds poured down water,
the skies resounded with thunder;
your arrows flashed back and forth.

18 Your thunder was heard in the whirlwind,
your lightning lit up the world;
the earth trembled and quaked.

19 Your path led through the sea,
your way through the mighty waters,
though your footprints were not seen.

20 You led your people like a flock
by the hand of Moses and Aaron.

Thanx Ashley for sharing that scripture with me. God is so Awesome, but we have said that a few times huh, but can we say it enough? He will never reject us, He will never stop performing mircales, the ones that God performed in the days that bible was writen are amazing. But He is a God who still performs miracles, He is a God that wants to perform miracle in us for the world to see. So beleive, love, and keep watch, because God will perform a miracle in you and He may use you to perform miracles for Him.

Its amazing when we read scripture, how we can identify with the author. How we can be amazed and think oh, thats what that was all about. I must admit, I was getting a litle slack. Id like to use the exscuse that I had a wicked head ache and I was on all these diferent drugs and I am just so messed up that I put God off to the way side, but I cant. In all this I know that I should have been keeping even closer to God. Waiting there with Him, feeding on His love and strength. I should have done things so differently. This all doesn't come from this one verse, but it sparked something, and a thirst. (A thirst that says low calorie cranberry juice is gross!!!) But above that, it says that I really really need God, and I will always need Him, when the going gets tough and when the times are golden. So, I will do this, not of myself, but through Him. This headache is temperary, it will leave in time, I know it. God will heal one way or another. Untill then and beyond then, I will keep Him at my side, and I will follow his lead. "Lord have your way, Lord have your way...with us."
