Hosanna!

Psalm 55:16-22 (The Message)

^16-19 I call to God;
      God will help me.
   At dusk, dawn, and noon I sigh
      deep sighs—he hears, he rescues.
   My life is well and whole, secure
      in the middle of danger
   Even while thousands
      are lined up against me.
   God hears it all, and from his judge's bench
      puts them in their place.
   But, set in their ways, they won't change;
      they pay him no mind.

 ^20-21 And this, my best friend, betrayed his best friends;
      his life betrayed his word.
   All my life I've been charmed by his speech,
      never dreaming he'd turn on me.
   His words, which were music to my ears,
      turned to daggers in my heart.

 ^22-23 Pile your troubles on God's shoulders—
      he'll carry your load, he'll help you out.
   He'll never let good people
      topple into ruin.
   But you, God, will throw the others
      into a muddy bog,
   Cut the lifespan of assassins
      and traitors in half.
   And I trust in you.

For Reflection
To what extent do you believe that God will lead you out of troubles?  How much trust do you place in the Lord. Spend some time each evening of this week reflecting upon how God has assisted you during the day.  Try each day to abide with God and let Him work for you.  Your day may not be conflict free.  But you may be better able to ride out the trouble and see the good which arises from the challenge.

Pray
that you will have the patience to listen to God.  Lay your problems on God and listen for his response.
