Mounting Obstacles

Psalm 103: 1-6

For months I have not written on my blog though I have been musing on the Word of the Lord. Every time I would go to my blog site the right(wrong) Email would come up and when I went in, the notice would say I did not have a blog site(wrong) and would I start one. I followed the instructions and round and round I went. So then I thought, "well, I guess I'm not suppose to write in my blog space." Then I would wait and try again. Now, you have to understand I have several Emails, but only one(the wrong one) would come up on the dashboard. Finally I found a box one day that said that my blog was registered under a certain Email. Now, I no longer use that Email because it was compromised several months ago. Today I logged on from the web site and it said "type in your Email". Where that little box has been, I don't know. But here I am.

The Lord reminded me then of the above passage. I could not over the months overcome the obstacles to enter my blog site. But Psalm 103: 4 says that the Lord redeems my life from the pit. All I need is the key just as I needed the right Email address and the right boxes. But not everything that "seems" right is nor is something that is wrong always right. Confused?

We go in circles in our troubles because we look in the wrong places. We listen to the wrong directions. We try the same paths and end up in the same place. God says, "Read my Word. Follow me. 'Praise the Lord, O my soul...... don't forget what He has done - His benefits:
He forgives our sin, heals our disease, AND lifts us out of the pit." So look up when you are confused. Look up when you are in need of healing and forgiveness. He lifts you out of the pit. No one else can do that.

"Go there," they say. "Try this," they say. But our Father says, "Look up. I will satisfy your desires with good things, and renew your youth like the eagles." That's good enough for me.

Thank you, Lord for helping me discover the key of praise which causes me to look up to You. You lift me out of the pit. Amen.
