Pressures at work, repairs and decisions made and to be made at home, plans and responsibilities at church, all these kept my 'quiet time' from being anything but quiet this morning. Oh, it was audibly quiet, but the voices in my head were loud and insistent during my reading and praying time this morning. Then I read Psalm 13 and first felt like I, at least, had company, then I found some encouragement and relief. David specifically asks in verse 2, "How long must I wrestle with my thoughts…"? That certainly was my thinking this morning. That, and that I was losing the wrestling match. Then he concludes the psalm with two beautifully encouraging verses, reminding himself and all of us where to place our trust and that He is faithful, loving, and that He saves us. Listen to David's conclusion, my encouragement for today, verses 5-6, "But I trust in your unfailing love; my heart rejoices in your salvation. I will sing to the Lord for he has been good to me." That is really all I need to be reminded of. That is enough for me to keep going. Thank you, Father, for your love and constant goodness!
