September 12, 2025, Psalm 43:1-5

43 Vindicate me, O God, and defend my cause
    against an ungodly people,
from the deceitful and unjust man
    deliver me!
² For you are the God in whom I take refuge;
    why have you rejected me?
Why do I go about mourning
    because of the oppression of the enemy?

³ Send out your light and your truth;
    let them lead me;
let them bring me to your holy hill
    and to your dwelling!
⁴ Then I will go to the altar of God,
    to God my exceeding joy,
and I will praise you with the lyre,
    O God, my God.

⁵ Why are you cast down, O my soul,
    and why are you in turmoil within me?
Hope in God; for I shall again praise him,
    my salvation and my God.

As I read these verses I think about times in my life where I felt no one cared for me other than God.  I felt so alone, but knew God was there.  We need encouragement from others, and the enemy knows that when we feel isolated, many times we will give up.  Please don’t give up.  When times are hard, when there doesn’t seem to be a way out, remember God is always there.  We is the only one that can save us from the enemy. 

Call on Him and allow Him to encourage you and keep you close.
