Saturday, July 2nd - Psalm 38

Good Morning GEMS!

Lisa's tweet: LMRMinistries: Psalm 38: David knew God physically afflicted him because of his sin.  Not all illness is a punishment, but pain should drive us to The Healer.

David paints a pretty vivid picture of his physical affliction.  He knew it had come from God as punishment for his sin, but he still poured out his feelings of guilt, despair, and pain to the Father.  As Lisa said in her tweet, not all illness is a punishment, but it should drive us to The Healer - the Father - The Great Physician. 

Whether it be physical pain, mental pain or spiritual pain, we should always seek God's help.  HE is always ready to listen and to help!  David confessed his sin and asked for the Lord's help and healing.  We too need to come before the Lord and confess our sins and ask for forgiveness, healing and help. 
As our personal relationship with Jesus continues to grow and become stronger, we run to Him to confess and talk over thoughts and feelings and pain and hurts.  We don't always understand His answers, but are confident that HE listens and hears and answers! 
Speaking from experience, it is really hard sometimes, but HE is with us every hour, every day, every week, and always.  I can talk to Him and cry out to Him and He hears me!  I seek to learn and grow from trials and use them to become stronger in my daily walk.  As I have said before, I am growing every day and long to be like Him in all that I say and do, but realize that He is still working in me and I cannot do it alone.  I am a work in progress!  Praises to His Name!

We are praying for you!  Please let us know if you have specific requests that you would like us to lift before the Father.  Enjoy your Saturday! 

Love and Prayers!
Cheri Lynn
