Always Before Me!<\/h2>\n

I have set the LORD always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.<\/i><\/p>\n

Psalm 16:8<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n
Reading:<\/p>\n

Psalm 22:1,14-24; 16:8-11<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n

The title — borrowed for this post — of Christian Light’s lesson for Easter Sunday is good for me.<\/p>\n

I’ve been struggling of late with a sense of abandonment. Oh, I know intellectually that I have not been abandoned. But that knowledge has had quite a wild battle at times with feelings of abandonment.<\/p>\n

But this title gives me some perspective and sense of proportion which I’d forgotten.<\/p>\n

The Son suffered.<\/p>\n

Wow.<\/p>\n

So where is my sense of proportion and perspective when I suffer?<\/p>\n

And where is my faith when I feel abandoned?<\/p>\n

Might my feeling of abandonment be indicative of my having forgotten God too much?<\/p>\n

Where is God’s praise from me?<\/p>\n

Do I keep the Lord before me? How? When? Why?<\/p>\n

What makes my heart glad?<\/p>\n

Will I rest in hope?<\/p>\n

Where am I in relationship to the path of life?<\/p>\n

In His presence is fullness of joy!<\/p>\n

“But be not thou far from me, O LORD: O my strength, haste thee to help me”<\/span> (Psalm 22:19).<\/p>\n
