Cave Experiences

We often seek our own “caves” out of the same mechanisms David used - to protect ourselves and to find reprieve from desperation. Sometimes it may literally feel like we are trying to save our lives. In this respect cave experiences do often help us. They allow us to rest, to catch our breath, to get back on our squares. Sometimes caves make us appreciate the outside world more. Caves can offer us an opportunity to be honest with ourselves and with God about the states of our well-being. Sometimes God meets us in our caves and transforms our hearts, minds, and focus.

The Hope in Complaining

Sometimes, we are unable to package an immense hope in pretty wrapping paper with bows. In our darker times, hope can be more like a speck in the middle of some crumpled dirty newspapers. But, if that hope is in God, it doesn’t matter.

Feeling Abandoned

If we only focus on our most painful seasons, a good God won’t seem so good at all. But to look back over the sum of the ups and downs, the best and worst, is to see that He is good after all.

Let the Word Work

May God bless you and keep you this week - let Him be your safety, refuge, protection, and hiding place. Cry to Him and He will answer.

Let This Book Encourage You

I have grown such an affinity for the Psalms. I would, and do, recommend that anyone battling illness make it a point to read a portion of the Book every single day. It’s so applicable to our journeys; it acknowledges the reality, the pain, the ups and downs, and the emotions, but then encourages, uplifts, and brings attention back to God and His goodness.
