It's not everyday I wake up and remember that I am 31
and single. Don't take this in the wrong way. I am not saying its a bad thing
to be single. God has blessed me with a good job that keeps me busy, great
friends and the freedom of time-where I can take a break and go for a vacation
whenever I like.
But today something from the past suddenly came to my mind
regarding a relationship, which discouraged me and I had to really fight hard
with my emotions to not let it take over me. The thing with emotions is that,
it clouds your judgment about the truth. The truth that Christ is sufficient,
only He can satisfy and in this fallen world I will never be completely
satisfied.
I am glad I carry my bible with me everywhere I go
and I had the time to read it on my way back from work. Its amazing how
the word of God can calm your soul and at the same time remind you of the truth
(which I should have been dwelling on in the first place anyways).
I was struggling with what seemed like the wicked people are
prospering and somehow they don't get the right judgement. Its when I came to
the below verses in Psalm 37 that quietened all my agitation.
He Will Not Forsake His Saints
Of David.
[1] Fret not yourself because
of evildoers; be not envious of wrongdoers!
[2] For they will soon fade like
the grass and wither like the green herb.
(Psalm 37:1-2 ESV)
[10] In just a little while, the wicked will be no more; though you look
carefully at his place, he will not be there.
[11] But the meek shall inherit
the land and delight themselves in abundant peace.
[12] The wicked plots
against the righteous and gnashes his teeth at him,
[13] but the Lord laughs at
the wicked, for he sees that his day is coming.
(Psalm 37:10-13 ESV)
I need to always remind myself of God's just character.If He
did not spare His own Son and sacrificed Him as a propitiation for my sin- I
should NEVER doubt his justice.
