Code Is Clear

I have walked with the Lord for a long time. I was introduced to the Lord at a very young age and I grew up living off the faith of my parents and grandparents. It wasn’t until I was a freshman in college that I owned my faith. I remember the night that I believed in God for myself. I didn’t make a public display, but the Lord moved in my heart and I still remember it like it was yesterday or last week. I pray that my kids own their faith. I pray that God speaks to them.

I read one of the “Psalms of Accents” this morning that was a bit confusing. It was obvious the writer was feeling frustrated from the oppression that had been upon Israel. I did find a nugget that spoke into my heart. Check this out…

⁴ But the Lord is righteous;
    he has cut me free from the cords of the wicked.’ (Psalm 129:4 NIV)

I have been picked on and put down by some strong personalities. I confess that I’ve struggled to care about those who hate me. It feels like the wicked and hateful people are dictating how I feel and where I go from here. The Lord directs my path. He will help me experience freedom from the people who wish to harm me. He will protect me from them. He will expose them. The Lord rescues and restores my heart all the time – often daily. He knows me like no one else. He knows when I hurt and when I’m down. He takes my fear and worry off my shoulders and carries it on His shoulders.

When I’m in the middle of struggle and frustration, I must remember that The Lord is ALWAYS strong and righteous. He is mighty to save. He never forgets about me. He releases me from the clutches of the careless and He restores my heart and soul.

Pressing On!
