Psalm 31:7  “I am overcome with joy because of your unfailing love, for you have seen my troubles, and you care about the anguish of my soul.”

God’s love never fails.  He knows what is going on in my life, knows my struggles, is aware of challenges, he knows that I have trouble and in the midst of all that I am dealing with, He cares about what is going on in my life.

I may not know why I am dealing with certain things or what the purpose is behind whatever it is that I am facing, but in reality I don’t need to know the whole story or see the big picture, because God does and He’s got it all figured out.

With this in mind, I can have joy in the midst of hard stuff.  In fact I can be overcome with joy because I can know that God has not “hung me out to dry” or “left me hanging”.  He is fully involved, totally in control, taking charge, faithfully loving me, and He cares deeply about what my soul is dealing with.

Lord thank you for this reminder today.  When, at times, it feels like nobody cares or understands, you do.  And that fills me with hope, some peace, and joy in knowing that you are there.
