Seven passages from the Psalms that I’m clinging to now…

1. No one whose hope is in you will ever be put to shame, but they will be put to shame who are treacherous without excuse. Psalm 25:3 NIV

2. But You, O LORD, are a shield about me, my glory and the One who lifts up my head. Psalm 3:3 NASB

3. When I am afraid, I will trust in you. In God, whose word I praise, in God I trust; I will not be afraid. What can mortal man do to me? Psalm 56:3-4 NIV

4. I wait for the Lord, I expectantly wait, and in His word do I hope. Psalm 130:5 Amp

5. Whom have I in heaven but you? And earth has nothing I desire besides you. Psalm 73:25 NIV

6. My soul finds rest in God alone; my salvation comes from him. He alone is my rock and my salvation; he is my fortress, I will never be shaken. Psalm 62:1-2

7. The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. Psalm 34:18 NIV

“For the LORD is right and true; he is faithful in all he does. The LORD loves righteousness and justice; the earth is full of his unfailing love.” Psalm 33:4-5

These were the words that greeted me this morning. I subscribe to BibleGateway.com’s verse of the day, and this was the selection for today. This wasn’t coincidence. This wasn’t happenstance. This was God’s little (actually big) promise of love for me today. Yesterday was hard (see that post for more information). Monday might be even harder. But the nuggets of truth about Jehovah in this Psalm speak loudly to those with a listening hear.

He is right.
He is true.
He is faithful.
He loves righteousness.
He loves justice.
His unfailing love fills this earth.

God never has been unjust to any of His creatures, and He never will be. Regardless of the outcome of this current trial, God is still God. He is still right, true, faithful, righteous, just, and full of love. He is still amazingly great and worthy of ALL praise! There is nothing too difficult for God. If He wants my husband to stay where He’s at…He will make sure that happens. If He’s calling Him somewhere else, then we’ll trust Him in that too. I have no answers beyond today. I would be lying to say I’m not somewhat fearful, but I know that there is no fear in love, and God’s love is complete! So – that is what I choose to cling to – His complete love!

God, I believe! Help my unbelief!
