O God, You are my God; Years of relationship - through good times and bad - stood him in good stead, and gave him the impetus to pen this love song to God, during a particularly difficult time of his life.Our problems can often push us away from God, either by presenting themselves as bigger than Him, or worse, making Him out to be their source. He called to mind God’s wonderful works in his life, and spent so much time meditating (contemplating, reflecting on, pondering and mulling over) the good times that he eventually began to see God alive and working in his current situation. Begin a marker of all He’s blessed you with, so that when the need arises, you’ll be able to recall and meditate on them.On the other hand, if your life is a turmoil-ridden wilderness, take a leaf out of David’s book and begin to recall the beauty and power of God. walk with Christ through the first few chapters of Mark’s gospel to see His concern and provision for those who approached Him with difficulties we can only imagine.Then begin to meditate on these examples until a vision of God comes alive within your heart, and as your perspective changes, you will be assured enough to sing, like David:I will praise you as long as I live, lifting up my hands to you in prayer.
