SANCTUARY by David Jeremiah
February 18
GOD'S ALWAYS THERE
Psalm 142:3
When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, then You knew my path.
A friend of mine likes to tell about the time his granddaughter told him what she learned in Sunday school: that God never says "Oops!"
There is profound theological truth in that little girl's remembrance of her lesson. God didn't look down from heaven surprised to find David in a cave in a fit of discouragement - and David knows it. He says to God, "When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, then You knew my path." God knew right where David was the whole time - all the time David was discouraged, deserted, depressed, and defeated, God was there the whole way.
For some reason, we are greatly tempted to think that because no one else is around, God isn't either; because no one else knows how we feel, God doesn't either; because no one else is willing to listen, God isn't either. God is always there and to recognize that is the first step toward meeting His solutions to our dilemma.
