“He Loved Me Enough…”

he loved me enough

Have you ever had a conversation with someone, and in the midst of it you feel as if they may not be totally paying attention and listening.   This can be quite discouraging especially if you are sharing your heart or you are upset.   Today let us meditate upon the fact that we serve a living and loving God that always listens, and hears our prayer as we go to Him with humble hearts.   
 
 
 
I would like to share from Psalm 116. The psalmist begins the chapter by exclaiming, “I love the Lord, for He heard my voice…” He proceeded to say that he knew God’s ear was toward him and then he said, “I will call on Him as long as I live!”
 

You see this psalmist understood that death was staring him in the face and he had no where to turn. I am sure that what the writer went through was terrifying and he stops and reminds himself of who and what his God is all about. This is what Psalm 116:7-9 says…

 

“Return to your rest, my soul,
for the Lord has been good to you.
For you, Lord, have delivered me from death,
my eyes from tears,
my feet from stumbling,
that I may walk before the Lord
in the land of the living.”

 

I believe this chapter in Psalms can serve to remind us that in trying circumstances we absolutely must call on the Lord for our help and we must purpose to remind ourselves of His love and care over us.   Lord, we thank You that Your ear is ever open to listen to our heart’s cry no matter how big or small it may seem.   We thank You for your faithfulness and lovingkindness toward us!
