"My soul longs for salvation; I hope in your word. My eyes long for your promise; I ask, ' When will you comfort me?' "
Psalm 119:81-82
Beloved, one of the beautiful things about the Psalms is its genuineness.
Nothing in the book is hidden from the reader. The raw emotions and thoughts of the Psalmist come through each line. Inspired by the Holy Spirit, we can see the writer's struggles, fears, peace, and satisfied hope.
It speaks of the reality of our faith. There are moments when we feel strong and encouraged by God. Other times, we are perplexed and feel abandoned by God.
It is okay to come before God with our confusion. To inquire when His comfort will come. We should rest assured that He will not deny us, though we suffer great sorrows. Some of these seasons are long, and relief is not always immediate, but do not lose heart. Trust the Lord, and He will comfort you at the right time.
In Christ Alone,
Pastor Wight
