Psalm 139:7-10
“As we look at Jacob’s experience, I want you to see that God is also with you. You may be on the verge of a mental collapse; but although you cannot sense it, God is with you right now. You may be quite ill. You may be misunderstood by your friends. You may be abandoned by a husband, a wife, or your children. Even the church may have turned its back on you. You may have lost a job. You may be discouraged. You may have so little self-worth that you feel no one will ever care for you again. You may even be listening to the Old Yiddish proverb: ‘If one man calls you a donkey, pay him no heed. If two men call you a donkey, pay them no heed. If three men call you a donkey, buy a saddle.’ You may be ready to do that. You may have already bought the saddle. (But) I want you to hear God speaking. Where you are now can be a gate of heaven.” –James Montgomery Boice
