reading the bible

having weird thoughts this morning, like almost on being on the verge of depression. not knowing where my life is going and not knowing where i want it to go.

i thought of all the things God tells us in the bible, how much He loves us, how He comforts the broken hearted, how He gives us our hearts desire, everything we need to know He has told us in His Word. i thought of the bible as God's love letter to us and knew i needed to read it. my utmost for His highest today referred to psalm 25. 3 times in psalm 25 david says (my) hope is in You.

how can people have hope if we don't know where to find it? twice He tells us basically the same thing. He guides the humble in what is right and teaches them His way. He will instruct him in the way chosen for him.

i read other parts of the bible but nothing touched me as psalm 25. it just blows me away to think of how God knows us so well as to know our hearts and what we need at any given time. what an amazing love, to know us so intimately and care for us so deeply.

we need to read the bible. we need to know God. we need to have an intimate relationship with Him. then we will know He is our hope and our salvation.

thought of a pyramid in a new way last weekend when the facilitor at the alpha weekend retreat put his hands together to make a pyramid. he said when we draw closer to God, we draw closer to each other. i knew that but when he did it with his hands it seemed more real.

i still don't know where my life is going or how i'm going to get there but it's ok cuz i know that God does. and my hope is in Him.
