Psalm 55:18: My Voice
Monday, July 8, 2019
Psalm 55:18 – In the evening, in the morning, and at noonday, I will complain and lament, and he will hear my voice.
When I read this, I understand that I am not the only one who calls on God incessantly. This gives me comfort and hope. Comfort because I am not alone. Hope because God has acted in the lives of so many people, why would he not act in mine? I will set my petitions before him to show him that I understand my proper relationship with him: he is the creator, I am the creation.
God says: Do not worry that I might become tired of hearing your pleas. I answer your requests as they best fit your own plan and the plan of salvation. I do not mind that you become angry with me; my love for you can handle that. I do not mind that you feel I do not love you; my love for you is bigger than that. I do not mind if you turn from me; my love perseveres and endures forever. I do not mind . . . I love you.
Let your voice rise to God like incense in the night. Ask, and you will receive.
