Until I notice my own need, I don’t think to notice God’s abundance.

Until I catch on to my own helplessness, I seem to miss God’s ability.

So when I am cast down by my need and my helplessness to do anything about it, let me see God.

“But I am poor and needy: make haste unto me, O God: thou art my help and my deliverer; O LORD, make no tarrying” (Psalm 70:5).

Instead of desperation, let me trust in God.

May I learn to focus on Him, rather than on myself, my need, and my helplessness.

Then I can rejoice and be glad in Him (4).

I would really like that!
