Have you ever had someone in your life that you can’t seem to connect with no matter how hard you try? Whether it’s a new family member, neighbor, co-worker... or it could be a familiar person who has experienced some growth (or the opposite) making you seem further apart? It can be frustrating to say the least. And it’s what I seem to be facing in this season of my life. I want to be heard and understood yet we keep talking at each other and neither of us seem to “get” the other. Almost like we’re speaking different languages. Honestly, I just feel like giving up. But, I will continue trying and trusting God to work in and through me.
Yesterday, in reading Psalm 18 I was reminded how the LORD is my Refuge, my Stronghold. He hears my voice. My cry reaches His ears! He is my Support. He rescues me (often from myself!) and He delights in me. He gets me. And He will help me grow through this season. He will help me be a better me.
“...The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer, my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold... In my distress I called upon the Lord; to my God I cried for help. From his temple he heard my voice, and my cry to him reached his ears... They confronted me in the day of my calamity, but the Lord was my support. He brought me out into a broad place; he rescued me, because he delighted in me... For it is you who light my lamp; the Lord my God lightens my darkness. For by you I can run against a troop, and by my God I can leap over a wall. This God—his way is perfect; the word of the Lord proves true; he is a shield for all those who take refuge in him.” Psalm 18: various verses – I encourage you to read the entire chapter!!
