Wired for Worship--Psalm 61

Psalm 61

"Do you feel far from God today?  Are you seeking Him, but He feels distant?" 

It seems like this happens to us sometimes when we need Him most.  Maybe there is a big decision to make.  Maybe things aren’t going well at home.  Maybe our friendships aren’t going so well.  Stuff creeps into our lives which causes us to feel distant.  The enemy wants to use that against us. 

He tells us that we are no good to God, and that God doesn’t want to be near us.  The truth is that God never leaves us and He always wants to be with us.  Stuff happens in our lives.  We just have to lay claim to the fact that God is our refuge and has rescued us before...and will rescue us again.  He wants us to seek Him and praise Him no matter what is going on.  

"For you have been my refuge, a strong tower against the foe. I long to dwell in your tent forever and take refuge in the shelter of your wings."  

Praise Him today because He has rescued you before and will rescue you again.  Don’t let the enemy tell you lies.
