everyone has secrets. especially those hidden secrets.
well, i thank God that my estate is quite a peaceful and quiet one. like, tranquility amidst the chaos. chaos of a hectic and busy world. where everyone seems to be rushing around, minding their own business, only bothered by the care in their hearts or minds.
I guess I'm guilty of that too, either that or I'm like the other total extreme. codename: slacker. well, i guess life's all about balance huh, balance between rushing around doing work, or slacking/resting and catching a breather. like the old quote says "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy." or vice-versa.
well, i was on Psalms 13 today, and i guess it really speaks to me. lemmie show you.
Psalm 13
for the director of music. a psalm of David.
1 How long, O LORD ? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me?
2 How long must I wrestle with my thoughts and every day have sorrow in my heart? How long will my enemy triumph over me?
3 Look on me and answer, O LORD my God. Give light to my eyes, or I will sleep in death;
4 my enemy will say, "I have overcome him," and my foes will rejoice when I fall.
5 But I trust in your unfailing love; my heart rejoices in your salvation.
6 I will sing to the LORD, for he has been good to me.
it just speaks to me, especially the last two verses Psalm 13:5-6 & also verse 3. it speaks to me, tells me that even as i'm troubled, as i wrestle my thoughts and bear pain and sorrow within my heart, that as much as my enemies gloat and rejoice over my failures or defeats, that i will give praises to God even as the odds are against me. because of his unfailing love.
well, like my previous post said. i don't have to go thru this alone anymore. and now, i know that.
