(Psalms 42, Phil At the sight of the big and beautiful looking plums, I bought two bowls with expectation of eating juicy and sweet plums.Biting three of the plums, my hope of enjoying them was dashed because they were sour. Life, sometimes, can dish out sourness when one is hoping to get sweetness after countless endeavours in desiring great results. Such is the story of David in Psalms 42. He was in distress. He cast his mind on past victory, strength and achievements. And he said “...My heart breaks when I remember the past...” His past joy of leading the crowd into God’s temple.Another thought came to his mind - could God have forgotten me? He said in verse 9- “I will say to God my rock, “Why have You forgotten me? Why do I go mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?””‭ David finally had the best thought-option- He asked himself in verse 11 “Why, I ask myself, are you so depressed? Why are you so upset inside? Hope in God! Because I will again give him thanks, my saving presence and my God.” Psalms‬ ‭This is the best place to be - Turning our thoughts to God at all times.I pray that we continue to see in God the peace we desire. I pray the peace of God, which is far beyond human understanding, will keep our hearts and minds safe in union with Christ Jesus. Amen.‭‭--- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/abimbola-arawande/message
