Nancy Damas Wargamu says most of us will go through some lonely valleys.

And I believe God at times will let us be in a place where we feel there is no one else to help

so that we will turn to the one who can help.

The only one who can help.

This is the Reviver Hearts Podcast with Nancy DeMasse Walgumuth,

author of The Wonder of His Name, for April 5th,

2023.

I'm Danagresh. And the people you love the most can't help you, it's really a lonely feeling.

Nancy prepares you for times like this continuing in the

series Psalm of the cross. We're in the middle of a week that for us as Christians is

when we commemorate the events that are most central and crucial to our Christian

faith.

And we celebrate the birth of Christ at Christmas, and that's certainly an important, very important event when God took on

human flesh, the incarnation, we call that, became a man, but all of that was to point toward what we celebrate this week.

And the fact that Jesus was born is significant, very significant, but if he had just lived and if we didn't have the cross and the resurrection, we would have

no faith, no faith worth having. We would have no true faith. We would have no hope of eternal life.

So in the midst of whatever else you have going on in your week,

I hope that you're taking time to ponder the cross,

to fix your eyes on Christ, to consider what it is that he has done for us,

and to grief what our sin did to him,

but then also to rejoice in the life we have as a result of his death and his endless life now.

I had other intentions of what I was planning to teach this week and yet a few days ago I just felt like the Lord put it on my heart to go to Psalm 22.
