Psalm 102
Day 102: Be blessed
I’m thinking of a lady I know who has recently been diagnosed with cancer. I am praying for her. The one comment that can bring so much comfort, I cannot give: “I know how you feel.” Yet the Psalmist can say this and does.
He is overwhelmed to the point of being faint.
However, this lament is not a complaint about God but addressed to Him.
His days are going so quickly and he feels his life is being wasted, v3-4.
He doesn’t feel like eating, v4.
He feels lonely and isolated, v5-7.
He wonders on this being the hand of God, v10.
Yet he has hope and for my friend I pray she will too find hope.
Let us all prayerfully read the following for our own lives:
Hope in God who is sovereign, v12.
Hope in God who is compassionate, v13.
Hope in God who is a rebuilder, v16.
Hope in God who answers prayer, v17.
Hope in God who is eternal, v25.
Hope in God who remains, v27.
So friend, if you read this and I hope you do, then put your hope in God in spite of the overwhelming circumstance for you as His servant live and will live in His presence, v28.
This is why we are blessed.
