Abandoned....?

 This morning as I read Psalm 42   
I was reminded of
sitting round the campfire 
and singing;    
"As The Deer pants for the water...."

A somber searching song
a time of reaching out for more from God
and less from my circumstances...

Good thoughts
Good memories.....

But actually
not the whole picture of what the 'Sons of Korah'
were writing about.....

vs 3 My tears have been my food
day and night,
while men say to me all day long,
"Where is your God?"

Foes and a sense of abandonment from God....
Yet in the midst of that...
Hunger for God
Declaration that there is no other Hope
and that is actually
OK....
That God is enough...
Even when it 'feels like'
He is not there.

Lord,
Thank You for the reminder
that there will be days
when I FEEL abandoned

But You have not.

When those around me
might mock
because my hope is in
You

I want to be secure in You
even when it feels 'insecure'....

I choose to put my Hope in You
no matter
what.
