One verse I’ve really been meditating on and thinking a lot about, especially given how this year has gone and how much suffering has happened around me is Psalm 94:19.
When the cares of my heart are many, your consolations cheer my soul.
Psalm 94:19
When the cares of my heart are on what’s going on in and around my life, you cheer my soul. When the cares of my heart are irreconcilable, you cheer my soul. When the cares of my heart are on worldly things, you cheer my soul.
Thankful for a God who does not treat our relationship as quid pro quo but rather enters in with the greatest grace and kindness to give us a consolation we so often need.
