He answers from the holy hills

I started to delve into the book of Psalm again this week, chapter by chapter.

Last Saturday morning, I went up to the hills (Mt Faber) to have a solitary quiet time with God, yes, just Him and me.

Why did I do it? In the last two months, the busyness of life had left me little time to be at His feet. I had problem sleeping for the last couple weeks. As much as I tried to find "some" time daily to read the bible, I was not hearing Him. I was tired physically, mentally and spiritually. So, I felt that I need to be alone with Him and to hear from Him. And I am glad He met me.

I am particularly lifted up by Ps 3:3-4 that say "But you are a shield around me, O LORD; you bestow glory on me and lift up my head. To the LORD I cry aloud, and he answers me from his holy hill. Selah "

See how good God always is. I went up to the hills to look for Him and He answers me. And that was not all, Ps 4:8 which says "I will lie down and sleep in peace, for you alone, O LORD, make me dwell in safety" gave me peace. On that night, I recited His promise from this verse and slept well. Praise the Lord!

May I encourage those of you who are laboring and restless, to go to Him. Like me, you will find peace in Him, and will sleep well in His arms.

God bless.
