all his precepts are trustworthy.
They are established for ever and ever,
enacted in faithfulness and uprightness.
He provided redemption for his people;
he ordained his covenant forever--
holy and awesome is his name. (Psalm 111:7-9)
I was in a bad part of town - hopeless and hanging with the dregs of society. I lived in a squalid home that had been broken into and had twice had staggering drunks walk in unannounced and threaten me. I had alienated and purposely avoided everyone that cared about me.
Truth be known, I was completely and utterly wasting my life – I knew it and wasn’t doing a thing about it. But that wasn’t enough to stop God. God stepped down to the lowest point of my life to offer me rescue. He put blessings in front of me, and slowly began drawing me in.
Even when I was not looking for Him, God never stopped pursuing me. I still can’t believe the way my life changed… I went from being lonely, broken, and feeling useless to being loved, healed, and filled with purpose.
To this day, I cannot understand what He saw in me that made me worth it. But from this day and for the rest of my life, I will never stop praising Him!
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom;
all who follow his precepts have good understanding.
To him belongs eternal praise. (Psalm 111:10)
