Day 9

But you, oh Lord, are a shield about me, my glory, and the lifter of my head. I cried aloud to the Lord and he answered me from his holy hill.
Psalm 3:3-4

I spent a good chunk of my evening hunkered in with my Bible because, well...it just sounded like a wonderful plan. Usually I'll be reading along and a verse or two in particular will just stand out to me, but today it seems I was a bit harder to please. Now, that is something that I try to do each day, find a verse that speaks to me because not only does it makes me smile, and I love smiling, but it gives me something to chew over during the next day or so. In my efforts, I decided to flip to Psalm, and I love Psalm, because it's filled with little to-go sized tidbits of prayers and knowledge.

This spoke to me because I think that no matter how young or old you are in your faith it never hurts to have someone remind you that God is always listening to you, and he will answer. It may not always be the answer you desired, but he will never leave you high and dry. I hope that in the worst of my days, someone would remind me of this because it is such a blessing to know that even when you feel like the whole world around you doesn't care, God will always be listening. You can ramble for hours and days about the most petty things or the silliest of thoughts, and yet he will listen attentively, but why? Because he loves you.
