Psalm 138: 7-8
“Though I walk in the midst of dangers,
You guard my life when my enemies rage.
You stretch out your hand; your right hand saves me.
The Lord is with me to the end.
Lord, your love endures forever.
Never forsake the work of your hands.”

I could presume that these verses from Scripture are about God ensuring the success of my ministry. But the more I pray about it, the more I see that “never forsaking the work of your hands” has nothing to do with the work of MY hands. I am His child, and he will not forsake me. He will save me from myself.

With every failure and frustration, God is teaching me. He is hammering my soul into shape with adversity. I experienced enough life to know that the worst thing God could do is say “yes” to all my prayers.

Things aren’t working out like I want. So I pray hard. And keep truckin.
