A Devotional Journey Through the Psalms: Psalm 25
-Roy Lessin, Meeting in the Meadow
-Roy Lessin, Meeting in the Meadow
O my God, I trust in You; Let me not be ashamed; Let not
my enemies triumph over me. To You, O Lord, I lift up my soul. Indeed, let no
one who waits on You be ashamed; Let me not be ashamed, for I put my trust in You. Let integrity and
uprightness preserve me, For I wait for You. Redeem Israel, O God, Out of all
their troubles! (Psalm 25:1-3, 20-22).
Back in the seventies there was a song written by Andre
Crouch titled ‘Through It All’. Here is a portion of the song’s lyrics…
Through it all
Mm, Through it all
I've learned to trust in Jesus
I've learned to trust in God
Let me tell you that
Through it all, oh
Through it all
I've learned to depend upon His Word.
Mm, Through it all
I've learned to trust in Jesus
I've learned to trust in God
Let me tell you that
Through it all, oh
Through it all
I've learned to depend upon His Word.
The chorus…
I thank God for the mountains,
and I thank Him for the valleys,
I thank Him for the storms He brought me through.
For if I'd never had a problem,
I wouldn't know God could solve them,
I'd never know what faith in God could do.
Andre Crouch was not a man who lived his life on “flowery beds of ease”. He was a man, however, who had put his trust in the Lord. In that trust was included Andre’s desire for a wife. He wrote Through It All, not after he found the love of his life, but after he had lost the love of his life when she walked away from their relationship and married someone else instead.
The loss broke his heart and brought him into deep sadness. But Andre’s life wasn’t ruined. The opposite is true. God’s favor rested upon Andre, and the song that was born out of his deep trial has been used to bring comfort and hope to a countless number of believers who have walked through great trials and broken hearts.
Insight: As you wait for the Lord and upon the Lord, it is important to remember that He WILL redeem you OUT of troubles, not FROM troubles.
