Don’t
Abandon Me,
For You Made Me

Scripture

Psalm 138

The Lord will work out his plans for my life—
    for your faithful love, O Lord, endures forever.
    Don’t abandon me, for you made me.


Observation

It’s Monday! Psalm 138 – take time to read it! It is a good way to start out this Monday morning!

I was in Shalimar, Florida yesterday and I went to Cinco Baptist Church (Ft. Walton Beach) with my sister Bea, her husband Norm, and their daughter Kacy with her kids!

Their Pastor Mickey Hawkins preached from Habakkuk chapter 1 and 2. Habakkuk’s world was a lot like ours – totally crazy!

Here is Pastor Mickey’s 3 points about what we are to do when our world seems totally out of control. 1. We need to wait on God. 2. We need to watch God at work. 3. And we need to worship Him!

Every week it seems like things get crazier and crazier. What we need to do is look at things from God’s perspective and see that God is working in the middle of this craziness!
We need a 30,000 feet perspective of what is happening in our world today.

Pastor Mickey said in his message yesterday that buzzards, bats, and bees all have our problem: if you put them in a cage without a lid they will not fly up to escape because they never look up. They are always looking down.

We need to look up! And we need to keep looking up!

 Application

I will keep looking up! How about you?


Prayer

Heavenly Father, thank You that we are not without hope. Your faithful love, O LORD, endures forever. You will work out Your plans for my life— You will not abandon me, for you made me.  I give you thanks, O Lord, with all my heart.  I will sing your praises …  I praise your name for your unfailing love and faithfulness; for your promises are backed by all the honor of your name.  As soon as I pray, you answer me; you encourage me by giving me strength. (Taken from Psalm 138) 

I pray for Pastor Mickey Hawkins and the congregation at Cinco Baptist Church. Thank You for bringing them into my sister’s life during this difficult time in her life. May Your face shine with favor on all of them!
