David was the anointed of the Lord, yet he was not immune to challenges. He was hunted by Saul and he also faced rebellion from Absalom. May we remember to seek God at all times and especially when we face challenges. Let us do so with the assurance that God is in control. Psalm 11:1-7.

Despite all the expectations others have of us, the Lord loves us and values us to a point where He knows the hairs on our heads. He knows our strengths and weaknesses, our pain and our desire, everything about us. We can be open with Him. Our self worth is not dependent on our acquisitions, our performance or how our peers evaluate us. He values us. Luke 12:6-7.

Some people are motivated to move in a desired direction by fear of the consequences of doing the opposite. Whatever the case, I pray that the fear of God and of eternal damnation will motivate many to live for God. May we fear enough to make us do the right thing especially in the areas we struggle with. Like 12:4-5.

Our best bet as children of God is to keep calling on the Lord. He is merciful and gracious. Whatever we may be going through, let us keep close to Him. In good times He helps us focus on Him and prevents us from going astray. In tough times He will help us not to give up. When we err and sincerely repent He will restore us. When we are under attack He will protect us. Lamentations 3:55-58.

When the Lord is angry with us His children, we have every reason to be very worried. In Lamentations 3:43-54, Jeremiah paints a very grim picture of how it is when the Lord is silent due to anger. When I look around I sometimes think that is what is happening in our midst. Lord have mercy.

Let us also examine ourselves and repent. The Lord sees us and knows us. He loves us and He is also just. He will hold us accountable for our actions. Lamentations 3:34-42.
