security, friend, lover

oops... here's moe updates.but feels like i'm talking to myself. HAHA.

Psalm 63

We are created with a God-shaped vacuum in our hearts, so without God, we would feel lonely, empty and that life is meaningless. If that's how we are feeling, lonely or thirsty for something lasting in our lives, like David in verse 1-5, we can call out to God. Only He can satisfy out deepest longings.

I like verse 63, that we should meditate and reflect on what God has done for us at night. That will bring us peace and comfort, and helps us to rest well at night. What is more comforting, assuring and able to give us security to sleep in peace, than God? When we hide under the shelter of His wings, we can be at rest because His wings will shelter us from all the stones thrown at us. He will deliver us and vindicate us.

Psalm 64

Sometimes we may feel that God only wants to hear the right things from us, prayers, confessions of sins, praises, worships.... Yes, God desires and wants all these, but He is also willing to hear our complaints and grumblings. Because He is our friend! He wants us to talk to Him like we would talk to a friend.

And we have read so many times that God will deliver us. Even when people say the wrong things about us, even backstab us, we do not need to fear if these accusations are untrue. Because God will return these wickedness such that those against us will fall and everyone who sees will know that God delivered us. See, He will deliver us, for His glory!

But we must remember, that is if we are wronged. But if what people say about us are true, time to check ourselves and make corrections. God is a just God. Then we can be at rest, because we know we do the right things, and that we trust in God to deliver us.

Psalm 65

Other times, we may feel horrible or negative about ourselves because of our sins or wrong doings. Not sure if you have felt this before.... but i do. Feeling that i have let God down, frustrated that i sinned, guilty, unworthy.

But God reminds us that He forgives ALL sins, no matter how big. Even when we feel unworthy or that God will never forgive us, God says again, "I forgive you. And i will always forgive you, because i love you."

Not only so, He promises He will take care of us and provide for our needs. just that He takes care of the nature, He would pour forth even more for us, because He is generous and because we are important to Him.
