“Out of t“Out of the depths I have cried to You, O Lord;
Lord, hear my voice!
Let Your ears be attentive
To the voice of my supplications.”
Psalm 130:1, 2
As I read these verses, I can’t help but think of the cries of the people of the Ukraine. Today, millions of people have been displaced from their homes, millions are refugees. The invasion and war by a foreign country has caused millions to cry out and we cry with them.
If you read the rest of the Psalm (and let me encourage you to do that) you read that in the Lord there is hope. Mercy can be found in Him. He can redeem times when it seems like there is no hope.
The situation in the Ukraine cries out to the Lord. We along with millions of others cry out to the Lord to be heard. We cry out for mercy. We cry out for peace. We cry out for hope.
You may be going through a personal crisis where you cry out these same words. In your particular situation you may cry out to be heard, you cry out for mercy, for peace, for hope. May you, as you cry out and as your soul waits, sense the hope that can only come through Jesus.
Know that I am praying for you and join me as we pray for the people of the Ukraine.
See you on Sunday.
he depths I have cried to You, O Lord;
Lord, hear my voice!
Let Your ears be attentive
To the voice of my supplications.”
Psalm 130:1, 2
