Many bulls encompass me, strong bulls of Bashan surround me; they open wide their mouths at me, like a ravening and roaring lion. I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint; my heart is like wax, it is melted within my breast; my strength is dried up like a potsherd, and my tongue cleaves to my jaws; Thou dost lay me in the dust of death. Yea, dogs are round about me; a company of evildoers encircle me; they have pierced my hands and feet – – I can count all my bones – – they stare and gloat over me; they divide my garments among them, and for my raiment they cast lots. But Thou, O Lord, be not far off! O Thou my help, hasten to my aid! Psalms 22:12 – 19
Lord ….how sad this was as I read it. David was crying out to You in desperation as a man that was dying. His health was totally gone. You were his only hope.
Lord what a hard place to be in. BUT You were there with him. You heard his cries. You answered his prayers. You were his comfort while he waited. You were what he hung on to.
Thank You Lord that You are here for us today too. Oh how we need You Lord. Thank You for hearing our cries just as You heard David’s cries.
Thank You Lord.
Amen
