Friend
Jesus is your friend |
I will extol and praise You, O Lord,
for You have lifted me up, And have not let my enemies rejoice over me. O Lord
my God, I cried to You for help, and You have healed me. O Lord, You have
brought my life up from Sheol (the nether world, the place of the dead); You
have kept me alive, so that I would not go down to the pit (grave). Sing to the
Lord, O you His godly ones, And give thanks at the mention of His holy name. For
His anger is but for a moment, [a]His favor is for a lifetime. Weeping may
endure for a night, But a shout of joy comes in the morning. As for me, in my prosperity I said, “I shall
never be moved.” By Your favor and grace, O Lord, you have made my mountain
stand strong; You hid Your face, and I was horrified. I called to You, O Lord, And
to the Lord I made supplication (specific request). “What profit is there in my
blood (death), if I go down to the pit (grave)?Will the dust praise You? Will
it declare Your faithfulness [to man]? “Hear, O Lord, be gracious and show
favor to me; O Lord, be my helper. You have turned my mourning into dancing for
me; You have taken off my sackcloth and clothed me with joy, That my soul may
sing praise to You and not be silent. O Lord my God, I will give thanks to You
forever (Psalm 30).
What a friend we have in Jesus,
who is always our friends in times of troubles, and when we are not in trouble.
My friends, what trials and storms are you facing? Know that Jesus wants to be
your BFF. Know that He cares for you. I don’t know what’s troubling you today
but I want to encourage you to seek the face of the Lord. Allow Him to give you
godly advice. Allow Him to be your friends. God is forever faithful. Stay
bless.
