Psalm 42:5-6
"Why are you cast down, O my soul, and why are you in turmoil within me? Hope in God for I shall again praise him, my salvation and my God."
Oh how I love our God. He is so faithful and I never have to worry whether He is going to take care of me. These verse were perfect for me today because my heart has been really heavy for the past few days and my soul has been somewhat downcast. Not in an unhealthy way, but in a way that I knew I needed to sort out the turmoil that was within me. As I spent time journaling tonight, I was reflecting that this is one of the first times that I have truly been able to know in my head and my heart that God IS my stronghold and my rock. He IS going to get me through this season and He IS going to be faithful to show me what is actually going on in my heart. For now, it is waiting. Waiting on Him to faithfully show me what to work through and how. I am at peace knowing that God will show me in His time. The turmoil is uncomfortable, but I know there is a reason.
I am praising Him today for His faithfulness for always being there...for always being my rock and my stronghold!
