"But I am poor and needy;
hasten to me , O God!
You are my help and my deliverer;
O Lord, do not delay!"
Today, I simply opened up the book of psalms and started reading the first psalm that caught my eye. It's a little random, and I'm not sure how much you can put into it. But, there are times when random encounters with scripture can be helpful in your life. This is especially true of the Psalms.
I'm not sure how many times I've prayed this prayer in my life. I don't usually exclaim to God, "Come to me now!" But I do know that I can be a little impatient at times in my life. This is especially true when I'm confronted with the fact that no matter how much I may try, I really am still a poor and needy person who lives by the loving grace of God. It's not that God tolerates me, although I'm sure God has had to put up with a lot of the things in my life. God truly loves me and cares for me and there are times when I want God to hold me and comfort me as quickly as possible.
