Life is a rollercoaster... you just gotta ride it!

Psalm 69 is all about David crying out for God's help. It ends with him speaking basically what God is reassuring him of. It says in verses 34-36
Let heaven and earth praise him,
the seas and all that move in them,
 for God will save Zion
and rebuild the cities of Judah.

Then people will settle there and possess it;
the children of his servants will inherit it,
and those who love his name will dwell there.

David was one of those men you aspire to be like. He went through so many troubles and hardships, but he got through them. He is easy to relate to. (Like me, he moans ALOT!) He spends his time signing to God, asking for help, accusing God of not helping him, and then having a restoration of faith. His journey is such a rollercoaster, one minute he'll fallen so far down he can't see a way out, and calling out to God. He has to wait a while, but then God brings him flying back up sky high. Okay, so sometimes it chugs back up maybe, this rollercoaster, but there is no denying your patience is tested, but it gets back up! But then again, feeling bad after a massive drop down, flying back up at super speed surely isn't what you need to happen. Or the person behind you, due to the effect it would have! (eww!) What you need is security and gradually being built back up. A lot of the time, once up, you may find you are ready for the next drop, more prepared.


The Lord says to you:
John 14:27 (NIV) - Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.
 
That's some of God's Word I wanted to share with you today :)
God bless :)
