Psalm 13, Feb 27

5 But I trust in your unfailing love.
this verse stuck out to me because it made me think about God's love. scratch that, his UNFAILING love.
i thought about what this meant, and i realized that this unfailing love is different for each and every one of us billions of people in the world. God knows each of us from the inside out, and he knows what to put you through and make you feel in order for you to grow in him and have a stronger relationship with God. He realizes that he made everyone unique and the definition of unfailing love for every person is unique. This made me think of the huge complexity of God and how much power and wisdom he actually has. I think that makes me feel really comforted in being able to put my faith into this huge guy with all of the knowledge in the world! it makes it a bit easier to come to him with my problems, and makes my problems feel minuscule. If we have this huge God behind us everystep of the way, we should have no fear, and do everything to pay him back
yaaay haha
hope you guys had a great monday!

hey guys, sorry for being absent on the forum for a long time. last week i had to practice for the recital with every spare time i had.
5 But I trust in your unfailing love; my heart rejoices in your salvation.
God loves us so much to the point that he gave his only son to die on the cross for our sins. we trust in God to help us and guide us through our Christian walk, and he is always there even when we start to doubt him and get angry at him. we owe him so much but we cant give back for every single miracle he has performed so we worship him and continue to learn more about him. we trust in him for always being there. if he wasnt, how would we be able to move on in life? how will we be able to make choices without God's guidance? our life would be so different if it werent for our relationship with God.
hold on there guys! march break is just around the corner! next friday to be exact...well at least for york region. bye!

I find that this chapter overlaps a bit with the sermon Dan had this sunday.
This really talks about how we complain about many things to God. Because like how Dan explained before, God might be giving these hardships to us to prepare us for later and help us grow in faith.
In verse 5 and 6, it says: "But I trust in your unfailing love, my heart rejoices in your salvation. I will sing to the Lord, for he has been good to me." I think this is the type of attitude we have trouble having when we're going through hard times but is easier when things are going smoothly.

I better get some rest for tomorow......I have semi-finals for volleyball tomorow!!!

dont you guys just feel like having a praise team retreat??? OvO School can be so religiously depressing sometimes =w=

ok soooo:
3 Look on me and answer, LORD my God.
Give light to my eyes, or I will sleep in death,

5 But I trust in your unfailing love;
my heart rejoices in your salvation.
6 I will sing the LORD’s praise,
for he has been good to me.

i know i skipped 4, and thats cuz 4 really didnt mesh with me, and i started mixing up bad emotions
annnyyyywwayyyy, the three verses i chose kinda meshed together better i think.
so then verse 3 was somewhat of an intro to 5 and 6 i guess;
"Help me, cuz I can't live without you" basically.
and then it proceeds to --->
"I'll have faith in you and praise you. Besides, you have already done so much for me."
annndd I guess the 2nd part is kinda just explaining how we're always indebt to Him,
and whatever good we do, it's us REPAYING the favor, rather than doing more than we're asked to do.

I apologize for being absent here for quite a bit
I've been swamped with work

1 O LORD, how long will you forget me? Forever?
How long will you look the other way

I realized this was quite similar to Sunday's sermon. The man here is doubting God and asking why he has forsaken him. Just as the disciples had doubted Jesus during times where they thought they were going to die. Yesterday however, was a strong reminder that God is ALWAYS there.
