Exodus 3:7The LORD said, "I have indeed seen the misery of my people in Egypt. I have heard them crying out because of their slave drivers, and I am concerned about their suffering.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This verse could be translated into the following in order to fit my situation:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Lord said. "I have indeed seen the misery of my child in Olathe, Kansas. I have heard her crying out because of her trials and tribulations, and I am concerned about her suffering."
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Psalm 10:14
But you, O God, do see trouble and grief; you consider it to take it in hand. The victim commits himself to you; you are the helper of the fatherless.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"But You, O God, do see my problems; You consider them and hold them and me in the palm of Your Hand. The victim who is me commits herself to You; You are the helper of the lonely.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Psalm 22:24
For he has not despised or disdained the suffering of the afflicted one; he has not hidden his face from him but has listened to his cry for help.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"For He has not hated or turned away the suffering of me the afflicted one; He has not hidden His face from me but has listened to my cry for help."
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Psalm 31:9
Be merciful to me, O LORD, for I am in distress; my eyes grow weak with sorrow, my soul and my body with grief.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PRETTY WELL SAID!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So what do I do with all these bad feelings I have stirring up inside me right now? Where do I go from here? What will be the one thing that can possibly console me? I know deep down I must turn to the only tried and true source I have ever been able to rely on in my whole life: My Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I must remember that God alone, not Ben or any other man, must be my sole reason to have joy even in the midst of so much pain. Even through the deepest waters and most violent storms life has ever thrown at me, this one thing has remained true: That My God loves me and He will make everything all better, if I just trust in and wait on Him.
