Psalm 124:1 If the LORD had not been on our side—let Israel say….
There is great comfort in having people who love and care for us, whom we can turn to to share our burdens, but I have found as I get older that instead of venting to others, which I’m still guilty of doing, I try to take things to God.
Psalm 124:2 …If the LORD had not been on our side when people attacked us….
When I vent, I often get more wound up, angrier. It is only when I take it to God that I can begin to work through it, begin the process of laying it at His feet, of trying to put it there and leave it there—something I still struggle with—because I know that giving it to Him is the only way that I can find peace.
Psalm 124:6 Praise be to the LORD, who has not let us be torn by their teeth.
Lord, Thank You for this day and this scripture. Thank You for Your love and protection, for Your desire for me to bring all my burdens to You and leave them there. Help me never to forget that help and peace reside solely in You. Draw me closer. Amen.
Psalm 124:8 Our help is in the name of the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth.
Have a blessed day.
