Psalm 25, 9, 15
Amos 7:1-9
Revelation 1:1-8
Matthew 22:23-33
Psalm 9:9 “The Lord is a stronghold for the oppressed, a
stronghold in times of trouble.”
Right now my life is about as good as it gets. Family
relationships are stable. I have amazing friends. I am happier in my job than I
have been in many years. So why does a verse about oppression and trouble
strike me? In reading the passages today, I kept turning back to it time and
again. Even in the middle of reading the other passages.
Right now my life is about as good as it gets. Sadly, it is
not always that way. Times of trouble and times of oppression have come and
gone. Conflicts in relationships, health issues, troubles with work have all
come to pass at various times, but I could always hang on to the stable
relationship with God for support no matter how badly everything around me
seemed to be.
Right now my life is about as good as it gets. I will praise
the Lord and give thanks to His name as I make my way through days. It is as
important to celebrate our connection with the Lord in good times as it is to
cry out for him in times of trouble. Let us remember that always.
