A few nights ago, I went to campus church. After the service ended, I found an area of the sanctuary that was empty and sat down with my Bible in one hand and a notebook in the other. I spent a while praying, and then flipping through the pages of my bible. There were two passages that I read and thought were absolutely beautiful, and I wrote them out in my notebook.
Late the next night, I was lying in my bed stressed out about a decision I need to make which will have a huge impact on the next year of my life. In tears, I was trying to pray through how I was going to get through next year, what I would do if I fell while in a position of leadership, and how I would keep going with it in times of spiritual dryness, in moments when none of it seems real. Frustrated, I pulled out my notebook to write, and turned to a fresh page. The verses I wrote out the night before, however, caught my eye.
“The Lord is trustworthy in all he promises and faithful in all he does. The Lord upholds all who fall and lifts up all who are bowed down. The eyes of all look to you, and you give them their food at the proper time. You open your hand and satisfy the desires of every living thing. The Lord is righteous in all his ways and faithful in all he does. The Lord is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth. He fulfills the desires of those who fear him; he hears their cry and saves them. The Lord watches over all who love him” -Psalm 145:14-20.
Sometimes, I hear people say that the Word spoke to them. That night, I understood what that meant.
He will prove faithful. He will be near when you call. He will hear your cry. He watches over you.
Trust Him.
