When You Are Ready to Give Up
Today has been a travel day for me. It was the first time for me to drive myself to the airport and fly on my own. It went went well because I traveled only with a backpack.
Nathan, Mckenzie and Carter met me at the airport and we plowed our way through Atalanta traffic. I have an HOA meeting tonight that I will try to participate in through Skype.
BIBLE VERSE FOR TODAY… “When I am ready to give up, He knows what I should do…” Psalm 142:3
This verse is straight forward and to the point. Have you ever felt like giving up? We all have at some point. It may be a task, a calling or job, a relationship or for some it may be as severe as life itself.
Often at that point in our frustration and despair we may say to ourselves, “I just don’t know what to do!” That is where the psalmist was in his situation. But he realized that while he didn’t know what to do The Lord did.
Since we don’t know and the Lord does, what do we do? “I call The Lord for help…I tell Him all my troubles…” (Psalm142:2,3) That is what the Psalmist did. Even when it seemed there was no help from any other source his reliance on the Lord was, “Lord I cry to you for help, Lord, you are my protector, you are all I want in this life.” (Psalm 142:5)
In your situation when you are ready to give up and don’t know what to do, turn to The Lord. And then take time to wait and listen. You will find no greater source of strength and refuge.
