Unless…..
Unless the LORD had been my help, my soul would soon have settled in silence. If I say, “My foot slips,” Your mercy, O LORD, will hold me up. In the multitude of my anxieties within me, your comforts delight my soul. Psalm 94:17-19
Mercy =checed= goodness, kindness, faithfulness.
The mercy of the Lord lifts us up when our foot slips and covers the multitude of anxieties in our life.
Comforts-tanchuwm= compassion, consolation.
The comforts of the Lord bring delight or joy to my soul.
As the Psalmist said, “unless the Lord has been my help, my soul would soon have settled in silence.”
The Lord brings strength, courage, comfort and joy into our lives.
When things fall apart, as they will, He is there to show us how to put the pieces back together.
And the picture that He will help us to create with those broken pieces will be unlike anything we could have imagined ourselves.
