Sometimes, when I read in the Psalms, I can relate to the anger or the anguish that David or Asaph must have felt when they wrote their songs. This morning, in my devotions, I was reading a Psalm of David and I noticed that my life today is so much better than his was in ancient days. I am at peace, I have rest, and even with my meager fixed income I have enough.
There are times when the the Bible speaks directly to my situation. The rest of the time I enjoy reading and knowing that God is the same no matter how much we have changed.
"Through the Lord's mercies we are not consumed, because His compassions fail not. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness." Lam.3:22-23
Life can be full of ups and downs, good time and bad times. Most of life is pretty daily and mundane. But God, who is rich in mercy and whose grace is greater, never slumbers or sleeps. He's been faithful to me!
