Day 243 and 244 - August 31 - Sept 1

​Day 243 – August 31, 2021
Scripture: Job 15-16, Psalm 69
 
 
Day 244 – September 1, 2021
Scripture: Job 17-19, Psalm 102
 
Psalm 69:29 (TNIV)
29 But as for me, afflicted and in pain— may your salvation, God, protect me. 
 
Psalm 102:1–2 (TNIV)
1 Hear my prayer, Lord; let my cry for help come to you. 
2 Do not hide your face from me when I am in distress. Turn your ear to me; when I call, answer me quickly. 
 
God be with us, as we navigate the suffering of the world. Let us turn our hearts and our minds to Christ. Knowing and believing that God is our salvation, we turn to him in our pain and grief.
 
I have heard it said, and often repeated it myself, “I don’t know how people go through difficult situations without God and the church.” As we go through difficulty, we are surprised by and often met with the mercy, love and grace of the church through the love and Spirit of Christ. God's blessings overwhelm us, and lift us up.
  
The Psalmist, and even Job seem to know, that there is a redeemer. There is one who is coming to save and deliver us from suffering and death. Let us turn to God, knowing he is our hope! He is our hope!
