God alone

"Whom have I in heaven but You? And besides You, I desire nothing on earth. My flesh and my heart fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever."
Psalm 73:25-26

There is really nothing like a trial to remind you what you're trusting in. It is when the pillars of your life come crumbling down that you realize that all of the earthly things you were trusting in can and will fail you. It is when the storms come crashing over your head and threaten to drown you that you have no choice but to cry out, "Lord, save me!" (Matt. 14:30) Even though the pain is unbelievable and life seems the most hopeless, there is an odd, paradoxical sense of desperate serenity. God is good and God is faithful.

For Christ,
Daniel
