Strolling

The book of Psalms in the Bible contains 150 sacred songs, poems or prayers used to praise and worship God. Of course, the well known one is Psalm 23, ‘The Lord’s my Shepherd’. But this week I want to look at Psalm 56. The reason is simply that as I was reading it, a couple of things really stood out for me. You see, this Psalm was written by David during a time of intense fear and danger, while surrounded by enemies. So it was written with fear, stress and worry at every turn.

Then I read verse 8, which says, in the Message translation, “You’ve kept track of every toss and turn through the sleepless nights. Each tear entered in Your ledger, each ache written in Your book.” What a verse that is for us today. We are human and many of us have worries and fears and even great heart-breaking concerns to contend with, but this Psalm reveals to us the compassionate God we serve. The Psalmist writes, ‘every tear entered in Your ledger and each ache written in Your Book’! Father God is so involved with you that He knows each tear that falls and each ache we have, both physical and emotional. He’s with us in the darkest hours of night when sleep just won’t come and we are constantly tossing and turning, He cares that much for you.

But when we fully trust Him He will comfort us and walk with us and as verse 13 says, “You pulled me from the brink of death, my feet from the cliff edge of doom. Now I stroll at leisure with God in the sunlit fields of life.” What a picture that is for us, ‘strolling in the sunlit fields of life’. May your walk be just that, in this coming week.
