Although I don’t often feel sorry for myself on the blog, I have to say that it’s been a rough year. Make that year and a half.
Intrinsic in faith is living with a few assumptions:
1) There’s more going on than what I see and feel.
2) Things will get better, eventually.
3) When they do, I will see the dark times as a short, forgettable moment before the fun began.
Over a year ago I started marking any verse in my Bible that promised hope. Faith tells me that these represent the reality of how things really are, and someday will be.
“The Lord is close to the brokenhearted, and saves those who are crushed in spirit.
The righteous may have many troubles, but the Lord delivers from them all;
He protects their bones, not one will be broken.” Psalm 34:19-20
“I was young and now I am old, yet I have never seen the righteous forsaken or their children begging bread.” Psalm 37:25
“When my spirit grows faint within me, it is you who watch over my way” Psalm 142:3
What promises do you hold on to in the meantime?
