Psalm 31: 9-16 v 12 “I am ignored as if I were dead, as if I were a broken pot.”
Have mercy on me, Lord, for I am in distress. Tears blur my eyes. I am wasting away from within. I am ignored as if I were dead, as if I were a broken pot. But I am trusting you, O Lord, saying, “You are my God!” My future is in your hands. Let your favor shine on your servant. In your unfailing love, rescue me.
Time marches on for all of us. Whatever stage we are in now we will not get any younger. How do you feel inside? I have the joy of watching my grandchildren grow but even their short lives as they learn to engage in this world show signs of distress and tears. Are they not able to participate in life because something deep inside them is not wired as it should be ? Do they too feel like a broken pot? Do you? But wait! I trust in a God who is love, who wants everyone to get along and work together. Whatever stage of life you are in today, our future is in His hands. Knowing He loves us, He will rescue us, and our loved ones. Trust in the Lord who rescues us with His love!
Prayer: Heavenly Father who made us just the way you wanted us to be, help us to move forward to a future where your love rescues us, to enable us to shine! Amen.
