• “I never felt such an entire emptiness of self-love, or any regard to any private, selfish interest of my own. It seemed to me, that I had entirely done with myself. I felt that the opinions of the world concerning me were nothing, and that I had no more to do with any outward interest of my own, than with that of a person whom I never saw. The glory of God seemed to be all, and in all, and to swallow up every wish and desire of my heart” – Sarah Edwards, wife of Jonathan Edwards

Hope in God by Nancy Leigh DeMoss 01/19/12

Published January 19, 2012 | By womenofchristianity

Nancy Leigh DeMoss: King David documented a lot of his emotional struggles in the Psalms. By reading through the Psalms, we discover that sometimes physical and emotional suffering is a result from our own choices.

David: When I kept silent about my sin, my body wasted away through my groaning all day long. My thoughts trouble me, and I am distraught. The terrors of death assail me. Fear and trembling have beset me; horror has overwhelmed me.

Nancy: No matter where the pain came from, David knew where to go for help.

David: Why are you cast down, O my soul? Hope in God; for I shall again praise Him, my salvation and my God.

Nancy: We all go through seasons of emotional pain. The next time you feel overwhelmed, you can go to the same source David talked about. No matter what you are facing, you can trust God, and you can experience His joy and peace.

With Seeking Him, I’m Nancy Leigh DeMoss.
