I wonder how the psalmist would feel about cold showers...

I've been reading Psalm 77 this week. One verse in particular stands out to me.

Verse 13 reads, "Your way, Oh God, is holy."

Not my way, not your way, but God's way is indeed holy.

Somehow that comforts me among all the discomfort I seem to be experiencing. In times such as this I find reassurance in the knowledge that God's plan for each of our lives is purposeful and holy, even if we don't realize it at the time. This passage illustrates how psalmist is going through a difficult time, but he struggles to remember all the times God has heard his cry and responded. This gives him faith that God will again hear his cry and honor his plea.

Even when we are stuck and we can't see how God will pull us through, it is important to remember that God does not live in a box defined our human minds. We cannot limit God.

When the future is muddy and uncertain, it is comforting to know that God has incredible plans for us. God can use all of us despite ourselves.

My prayer over the next few days is that God would continue to be patient with me as I stumble through my time in Lumberton and use me, despite my own self-doubt and frustration.

God is good and I am so grateful.

Peace,
