Psalm chapter 142, verse 3.

When my spirit faints within me, you know my way.

Exclamation point.

Let me say that one more time.

This is the psalmist speaking to God, specifically

David, speaking to God when he was basically trapped in a cave, tired and under threat of capture

and death from King Saul, he said when my spirit faints within me,

you know my way.

Is that not encouraging to you today?

Especially if you feel weary today, especially if you feel trapped in some way,

especially if you are struggling and you're not sure exactly what to do next in this way or

that way in this area or that area of your life.

And even if you don't feel that right now, the likelihood is you or I will find ourselves in a place where we feel trapped, we feel tired, we feel weary when our spirit feints

within us, where we lack the even encouragement to go on in some circumstances

when my spirit faints within me you know my way in other words god i'm trusting you you know how to bring me

through this when i don't know how to get through this.

You provide me strength when I have no strength left.

You provide me with encouragement when all I see is despair.

I love this Psalm.

Even from the very beginning, David is crying out with my voice.

I cry out to the Lord.
