“Out of the depths I call to You…”
Seven months into a pandemic followed by multiple catastrophes, both natural and human fueled, there is still no end in sight. Many of us are drowning in the depths of job loss, illness, online school, wildfire/hurricane, and Zoom fatigue. We miss our church families, our large family gatherings, and attending events the way we did a year ago.
God hears.
He hears our pleas for mercy. He hears our cries of repentance when we offer them. He attends to the needs of His children.
“I wait for the Lord “
We wait.
We wait for the Lord as we hope in His word. We know there is forgiveness. We know there is mercy and redemption.
We hope.
With the Lord there is steadfast and faithful love. Even though we may not see the end of the road, we can trust Him. There is purpose in the pain. His love will overcome all the evil around us.
“We have this as a sure and steadfast anchor of the soul, a hope…Jesus”
Hold tightly to His Word; God is just and true in all His ways. He hears. He knows. He is at work.
