// psalm 56:8-11 ESV
“You have kept count of my tossings {wanderings};
and put my tears in your bottle.
Are they not in your book?
Then my enemies will turn back
in the day when I call.
This I know, that God is for me.
In God, whose word I praise,
in the Lord, whose word I praise,
in God I trust; I shall not be afraid.
What can man do to me?”

v8 “…you have kept count of my tossings {wandering} and put my tears in your bottle. are they not in your book?…”
God knows our pain.
He is present in our joys, and in our heart break.
He mourns with us;
rejoices with us.
God is for us.
not against.
within our confusion, worry, doubt, pain, heartbreak, joy, triumphs, journeys, etc
God is for us in all of it.
if only we fully embrace that knowledge and let God in.
let Him move in all areas of our lives without building walls.
because as scripture says, once He is present – what can man do to me?
So I really needed to read this today. I feel like I've been making a lot of growth in my faith and then I'll go through this "two steps forward, one step back" kind of thing. So it was really encouraging to read that God is FOR me and He loves me no matter what. 🙂
I got chills when I saw the title to this post on Facebook. Aaaamen! God IS for us!
