I will be glad and rejoice in your love,
for you saw my affliction
and knew the anguish of my soul.
But I trust in you, O Lord;for you saw my affliction
and knew the anguish of my soul.
I say, “You are my God.”
Psalm 31:7 & 14
I praise God for His word, His promises, and His encouragement when He knows we need it the most. My heart was in utter anguish earlier this morning, as I faced yet again a situation that is heavy and hurtful in my life. I cried out to the Lord, not only because of the heartache and turmoil, but also the desire not to be embittered by the circumstance.
As I cried out to the Lord, I happened to hear a short blip on the radio, and one word stood out - Trust. Through my prayers and tears, I opened up a book I'm reading by Debbie Macomber called One Perfect Word and read the title of the next chapter - Trust. Coincidence? No, I'm sure it was part of God's ultimate timing, knowing what I needed to hear today.
I call to you, O Lord, every day;
I spread out my hands to you.
I spread out my hands to you.
Psalm 88:9
I praise God for His encouragement when we need it the most.

So happy that you were able to hear "trust" this morning.
He is so good in giving us these "pearls".
I have not visited in quite a while now. Just a lot going on and have not read blogs as much as I used to. But this really blessed me today! I,too, have been going through a trying and rather hurtful circumstance and this was very encouraging to me. Trust! I know that's what I need to do also!
Thanks for sharing!
