A hiding place - Psalm 30-33

I couldn't sleep so I woke this morning at 1:30 (I write these one week prior to posting them). I had a big decision to make and a good relationship that needed repair. Because I have an agreement with God I wanted to make sure I was sticking to my side of the agreement. Years ago I made a commitment to God that I would meet Him with all my problems, each day of the year at an agreed upon place. Since I couldn't sleep I decided to go to our agreed upon place to talk to Him about it. The agreed upon place? Well, for today it was Psalm 30-33. Each year in the beginning of the year I mark out my Bible reading. On that specific day I agree to listen to God based upon that Bible reading schedule. This a.m. I wake with the concerns about a relationship that needs repair and God directs me through that repair based upon Psalm 30-33. What a wonderful lens to view relationship through. God promises to protect us from those who conspirer against us (31:20); He promises to loosen our sadness and to provide a sense of joy and peace (30:11-12); He promises to hide us in His divine presence (31:19 & 32:7). God is in the business of talking to us if we will listen. He wants to put balm on our pain if we will but meet with Him to do so. We are so busy running from the world (or, running to the world) that we seldom take time to let God's Word wash over us. After reading these great Psalms I went back to sleep and slept like a baby. God can and does provide the words we need if we will but engage in the conversation and hide in the shelter of His Word.
