What's your plan as we go into the holidays for how you're going to share the

gospel with your family members or friends who don't know Jesus? I wrote a short

resource called Gospel Threads to help you intentionally share Christ in the

fabric of your normal conversations around the table or the living room or wherever you are,

and we want to send you a free copy of gospel threads to your front door.

Just go to radical.net slash share Jesus.

Pray the word with David Platt is a resource from radical.

N. 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 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 trapped we feel tired we feel weary when our spirit faints 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 I

plead for mercy to the Lord I pour out my complaint before him I tell him I trouble
