How Will You Respond In the Day of Trouble?

OK, I'm inspired! 


Time to dig back into the Word, folks.


You ready?


Ponder this Psalm with me today...we'll be digging into it together in the next day or two.


I encourage you to really study it. Ask questions. Reason through it. Make your lists.


Let's have a great "discussion" after my next post.


I love you all, and thank you so much for your encouragement to continue to write.


Your comments were precious, just like you are to me!


Jes

Psalm 77

Psa 77:1  My voice {rises} to God, and I will cry aloud; My voice {rises} to God, and He will hear me.
Psa 77:2  In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord; In the night my hand was stretched out without weariness; My soul refused to be comforted.
Psa 77:3  {When} I remember God, then I am disturbed; {When} I sigh, then my spirit grows faint. Selah.
Psa 77:4  You have held my eyelids {open;} I am so troubled that I cannot speak.
Psa 77:5  I have considered the days of old, The years of long ago.
Psa 77:6  I will remember my song in the night; I will meditate with my heart, And my spirit ponders:
Psa 77:7  Will the Lord reject forever? And will He never be favorable again?
Psa 77:8  Has His lovingkindness ceased forever? Has {His} promise come to an end forever?
Psa 77:9  Has God forgotten to be gracious, Or has He in anger withdrawn His compassion? Selah.
Psa 77:10  Then I said, "It is my grief, That the right hand of the Most High has changed."
Psa 77:11  I shall remember the deeds of the LORD; Surely I will remember Your wonders of old.
Psa 77:12  I will meditate on all Your work And muse on Your deeds.
Psa 77:13  Your way, O God, is holy; What god is great like our God?
Psa 77:14  You are the God who works wonders; You have made known Your strength among the peoples.
Psa 77:15  You have by Your power redeemed Your people, The sons of Jacob and Joseph. Selah.
Psa 77:16  The waters saw You, O God; The waters saw You, they were in anguish; The deeps also trembled.
Psa 77:17  The clouds poured out water; The skies gave forth a sound; Your arrows flashed here and there.
Psa 77:18  The sound of Your thunder was in the whirlwind; The lightnings lit up the world; The earth trembled and shook.
Psa 77:19  Your way was in the sea And Your paths in the mighty waters, And Your footprints may not be known.
Psa 77:20  You led Your people like a flock By the hand of Moses and Aaron.
