Jeremiah 17:7
“But blessed is the one who trusts in the LORD, whose confidence is in him.
Rock bottom! I have hit that numerous times or at least felt like I have. That place where you feel like there is just no hope of anything ever being good in your life again. That really dark place where the tears won’t even come anymore. The screams are gone. You can’t even say a single word, but cause not a single word comes to mind. The world around you just seems to stop and whirl past you all at the same time. You are not even sure where your next breath is going to come from or if it will even come. All you can do is look up.
Up is exactly where you need to look. You don’t feel it right now, but you are blessed. You are not OK right now, but you don’t have to be today. You are blessed. You know where your trust is placed. You know where the last of your confidence lies. It lies where it belongs. Throw your last reserved bit of energy even if you need to dig very deep take that next breath in God.
When we find ourselves in any situation, no matter how dark, we have something in which we can hold. We can trust in the Lord. We can have this confidence that we aren’t Ok today and may not be tomorrow, and we don’t have to be. God is holding us and he will continue to do so until we are OK again. Because of Him, we will be OK again, someday.
Lord, I have walked in the valley of the shadow of death. You have walked beside me. I place my trust in You whenever I stray to that path, You will be there with me just like always. ~Amen
