Psalm 142

Psalm 142
English Standard Version (ESV)

 Verse 3 is the one that stands out to me:  when our spirit faints, the Lord God knows our way.
  God knows us better than we know ourselves.  He knows our intentions, the very depths of our hearts.  He knows how we plan to invest our time and energy.  He knows our preferences and our deepest loves and joys.  He knows our pains, our regrets, our faults that no one else is aware of.  God loves us through all of this, working through the power of the Holy Spirit to correct our faults and guide us into the wise paths.
  Think about how completely God knows you--when you don't even know the next step forward, God does.  When you are shrouded with uncertainty or doubt, when the turmoil of life has so thickly veiled your way that you do not even know what to do next, God knows our way.  He knows what needs to come next, and through the nudging of the Spirit and the work of God through brothers and sisters in Christ, God points the way for the next step, and then the one beyond that, and then the next, so that we are nudged along the path towards redemption, one communal step at a time, in such a way so that we are not even sure how we arrived at such a place of grace, but we are grateful that we are there.

May you sense the Spirit's presence and guidance along the way
