Drama.....
Life is full of drama...most of us face it at various times...the heartaches, the lowest pits of despair, the highs of elation and celebration...illnesses, deaths, births, family ups and downs, hospital visits, depression, joyous occasions, mistreatment, persecution....you name it...life happens...we live in a sin filled world...and it has been going on since the beginning...some say we should get better and better, but, no, drama cloaks itself in different outfits over the years...but still the same from generation to generation...nations rise and fall with similarity...
The psalmist wrote about it hundreds of years ago...so well...the Word was good that time and it still touches my heart today...a living Word for each who listen and hold on to it...thank YOU...
I will exalt you, Lord, for you lifted me out of the depths and did not let my enemies gloat over me.
Lord my God, I called to you for help, and you healed me.
You, Lord, brought me up from the realm of the dead; you spared me from going down to the pit.
Sing the praises of the Lord, you his faithful people; praise his holy name.
For his anger lasts only a moment, but his favor lasts a lifetime; weeping may stay for the night, but rejoicing comes in the morning.
When I felt secure, I said, “I will never be shaken.” Lord, when you favored me, you made my royal mountain stand firm; but when you hid your face, I was dismayed.
To you, Lord, I called; to the Lord I cried for mercy: “What is gained if I am silenced, if I go down to the pit? Will the dust praise you? Will it proclaim your faithfulness?
Hear, Lord, and be merciful to me; Lord , be my help. ” You turned my wailing into dancing; you removed my sackcloth and clothed me with joy, that my heart may sing your praises and not be silent.
Lord my God, I will praise you forever.
Psalm 30:1-12
