God rewrote the text of my life when I opened the book of my heart to His eyes.
Psalm 18:20,24 The Message
God uses the broken, empty, lonely places in life ~ if we allow Him. Too often, we choose to blame others, complain, play the victim, emotionally shut down ~ instead of allowing God to spiritually heal us. In Psalm 18, David recounts his constant attacks from his enemies. David knows God is his only real defense. "I love You, O LORD, my strength," is David's response to being rescued.
I really like this song and hope you will take a moment to listen to the words. Give God all the pieces of you - the fragile,broken places, the lost opportunities, the wish-I-could-try-again's, the emotional disappointments, the successes that did not bring contentment, the worldly desires that will not bring you joy, the hope that is hiding underneath your pride, the despair of doubt, the hard edges of cynicism, the thunderstorms inside your soul - give these to God and let His love become your One desire! Let God rescue you! ~ dho
Consider This:
- Read all of Psalm 18
- Answer this: What do you need to be rescued from? Will you let God rewrite the text of your life?
