A Spiritual Moment

As I flipped open my Bible yesterday evening I found myself silently crying as I read the first verse that my eyes focused on. It was in the book of Psalms. These are the words that stood out to me.

Psalm 43

Vindicate me, O God...

You are God my stronghold. Why must I go about mourning, oppressed by the enemy?

Send forth your light and your truth, let them guide me...

Why are you downcast, O my soul? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise him, my Savior and my God.
