Awake, O Lord! Why do you sleep? Rouse yourself! Do not reject us forever. Psalm 44:23
Sometimes it feels like God is sleeping on the job. But does He ever sleep?
Sometimes it feels like God has rejected us. But does He reject any who seek His face?
Lord, there have been times in my life when I thought you were sleeping. The circumstances were too much to bear. There have been times in my life when I failed to seek Your face. The weight of Your rejection seemed too heavy.
Yet, here I am - sitting in Your presence - knowing with all my heart that You are real... at least until the next time I doubt. Forgive me for questioning Your sovereign will. The toughest times have made me stronger. The deepest valleys have made me appreciate the mountains. The darkest caves have made me long for the light.
I love You, Jesus. Thank You for saving us from eternal rejection. May You be glorified today.
