The Lord will command His lovingkindness in the daytime, And in the night His song shall be with me – A prayer to the God of my life.

Yes, recently I took a picture of this sign while walking, “Use the Crosswalk” because it struck me in a new way.  So, it’s a long story of why we can’t go up those stairs without a crosswalk on the side, but we have to continue in the parking lot to get to the stairs with the crosswalk to safely cross the road… But on this day (and I took the photo) the words struck me differently: we have to walk the way of the cross. YES! CROSS – WALK. Sacrificial… Using our Cross way of a Walk, means we have to just be as close to Jesus as we can be… A Cross walk becomes His Cross Way…  Yes, our walk with our crosses is to bear the sacrifice and the strife of unknown and trade it for known closeness with the Lord.

FEAR NOT! I need a bracelet of that…

When I walked into a situation recently, which is now revolving and RESOLVING by God’s Hand surely, I knew that the Lord was my resource and my help. I knew I had to ask for help from God and was just about to ask help from people, it was an unusual spot that I was in. Only the Lord could unjam the jam as uniquely as He did.. He has gone before us. He has helped us out of jams in the past, and He will now and He will in the future.

When I walked out of the situation later, and past that sign behind me, I knew that the Lord had solved this from a whole other angle that I never saw coming. “Peace beyond understanding”… When the Lord puts together a plan, it’s not a house of cards that’s ready to fall. His plan is stronger and higher level complexity more than we could ever comprehend, but dealt to us one card at a time as He wants us to play in – HE WANTS US IN – even when WE can’t see all the cards. He wants us to keep playing without irrational fear and He wants us to get our courage in gear. Courage that HE is working on our problems and goes before us.

Psalm 42 sums up the situation and solution:

HOPE IN THE LORD… YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Amen

Yearning for God in the Midst of Distresses
To the Chief Musician. A Contemplation of the sons of Korah.
As the deer pants for the water brooks,
So pants my soul for You, O God.
My soul thirsts for God, for the living God.
When shall I come and appear before God?
My tears have been my food day and night,
While they continually say to me,
“Where is your God?”

When I remember these things,
I pour out my soul within me.
For I used to go with the multitude;
I went with them to the house of God,
With the voice of joy and praise,
With a multitude that kept a pilgrim feast.

Why are you cast down, O my soul?
And why are you disquieted within me?
Hope in God, for I shall yet praise Him
For the help of His countenance.

O my God, my soul is cast down within me;
Therefore I will remember You from the land of the Jordan,
And from the heights of Hermon,
From the Hill Mizar.
Deep calls unto deep at the noise of Your waterfalls;
All Your waves and billows have gone over me.
The Lord will command His lovingkindness in the daytime,
And in the night His song shall be with me—
A prayer to the God of my life.

I will say to God my Rock,
“Why have You forgotten me?
Why do I go mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?”
As with a breaking of my bones,
My enemies reproach me,
While they say to me all day long,
“Where is your God?”

Why are you cast down, O my soul?
And why are you disquieted within me?
Hope in God;
For I shall yet praise Him,
The help of my countenance and my God.
