1 In you, Lord, I have taken refuge;
let me never be put to shame;
deliver me in your righteousness.
2 Turn your ear to me,
come quickly to my rescue;
be my rock of refuge,
a strong fortress to save me.
3 Since you are my rock and my fortress,
for the sake of your name lead and guide me. Psalm 31:1-3
I read a story this week about an old friend who had forgiven someone who devastated his family through a horrible series of events years ago. Even though that power of forgiveness from God took place, he still held onto that grief that burdened him. He had still felt that grief and he stated that he has found self-growth and recovery over the years, but never found that he has grieved fully. While he hasn't grieved fully, I know God is with him because of the ability to forgive. We tend to forget that we don't need to be the strong one and we can rely on our true fortress to guide us through any circumstance. I know that my Father in Heaven guides me in the path I should go, and I need to remember daily to ask Him to protect me. Take your step to ask God for help and guidance and I guarantee you the pieces will fall into place.
Have a great weekend.
Matt
