Psalms 13 - Joy In The Lord

2 How long must I make decisions alone
with sorrow in my heart day after day?
Psalms 13:2 (GW)

5 But I trust your mercy.
My heart finds joy in your salvation.
6 I will sing to the Lord because he has been good to me.
Psalms 13:5-6 (GW)

Reflection of B:

There were many times in my life where I felt lonely, just like King David, when it comes to important decision making. I wished I could know exactly what to do or what to choose. I just followed my gut feelings whenever I felt lost. Sometimes the choices I chose were painful ones for me but would be good for another person. That's the time when the sorrow in my heart was so heavy, I could feel how King David felt. Yet in those times, God reminded me to trust in His grace and mercy, and that He will make all things together for good for me.


Dear Lord Jesus,
Thank You that You never hide Yourself from me for too long. Thank You for always helping me find back my joy in You when it seems to be lost for awhile. May You continue to keep me joyful in all circumstances. Yes, Your joy is my strength.
Praise You! Amen.
