No Matter What Hole We Find Ourselves In, God Is Always There

Read Psalm 130:1-8. What happens when you find yourself in a deep hole? Do you give up and stop trying? Do you decide to simply drift through life instead? Do you simply change your priorities and jettison what mattered to you before? Or do you simply sit in despair?

If the hole you find yourself in is a setback, you need an anchor to stop you drifting. God’s presence is that anchor. When Paul was writing to the Roman church he explained that whatever hole they found themselves in – death, spiritual warfare, frightening situations, the day’s little worries – nothing would ever separate them from the love of God (Romans 8:31-39). A few years later, the Christians in Rome needed to hold on to that anchor for dear life as they faced terrible persecution for their faith.

God loves you. No matter what happens to you, no matter where you are, no matter how deep the hole, we can never be separated from the anchor of God’s love. He will seek you in your pain and assure you of the promise that one day he will help you overcome your setbacks with his unfailing love and redemption (v.7).

Think It Over

Think about the following:

•        Have you suffered a setback lately? How have you known God’s presence in such times?
