Psalm 10

This Psalm starts out asking why God is hiding himself in times of trouble? I wonder why we think that. Sometimes I think that people feel because something bad has happened God is not there. I believe that we need to look for God's presence at all times, he is always there, he has a plan we just don't always see it.

This weekend I found out that a friend lost her battle with cancer, she died peacefully at home on Friday morning. She was only 50 and has 5 children and 2 grandchildren. I can see how her family is probably asking themselves why did she have to die? She was a good person, she helped others, was always volunteering her time for different organizations, it does not make sense.

I think that is during times like this that we need to grab onto our faith and believe that God has a plan, that there is a reason. We are not going to understand it but our faith can guide us through the most troubling times.

In the Psalm today it talks alot about being led astray by the wicked, the non-believers. There are times in everyone's life when we are more vunerable to such people. It is during the hard times when we may be led astray. Stay strong and hold onto your faith. There is a reason for everything.
