: Psalms 23:5
:
: You prepare a table before me in the
: presence of my enemies; You have anointed my
: head with oil; My cup overflows.
:
: When we are distressed to breaking point by
: anything external our suffering is not due
: to the dilemma facing us, but to our
: estimation of its power to destroy us; yet
: this we have the wisdom to revoke when we
: choose to respond with the awareness that
: God's help is at hand.
:
: In the midst of our troubles we often fail
: to notice, and understand that it is those
: moments filled with anxiety that our plate
: is being filled to overflowing with
: sufficient help to satisfy our thirst for
: God's assistance unfolding silently to
: address our every need.
:
: But he said to me, "My grace is
: sufficient for you, for my power is made
: perfect in weakness." Therefore I will
: boast all the more gladly about my
: weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest
: on me. ~2 Corinthians 12:9
:
: The divine presence intervenes with a
: passion for all His children who in our
: moments of total hopelessness turn to Him
: when all seems lost. The present is the only
: time in which Our Father provides us with
: the remedy to that which is causing us so
: much agony, fulfilling His desire that we
: should approach Him for help knowing that He
: will furnish us with all that we need to
: surpass our painful plight.
:
: The LORD himself goes before you and will
: be with you; he will never leave you nor
: forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be
: discouraged. ~Deuteronomy 31:8
