March 23 Devotion

Read Psalm 107:1-32

The words to a song “Hide” by Joy Williams:

To anyone who hides behind a smile
To anyone who holds their pain inside
You don’t have to face this on your own
You don’t have to hide anymore.

And if you feel like no one understands
Come to the One with scars on His hands
‘Cause He knows where you are, where you’ve been
His scars will heal you if you let Him.

Come out, Come out where ever you are
You don’t have to hide anymore.

The song’s lyrics penetrate the weary hearts of our modern society and gives hope of a better day.

This song, I feel, speaks to a lot of people; the words are down to earth and can bring you home. If you have felt that you are at the end of your rope, and you just can’t make it another day, always remember no matter how far away you think you are, you are not alone. Jesus is always there for you. All you have to do is call on Him. He will not leave you. Remember, Jesus is the Way, the bread from heaven, the living water and the giver of rest.

You don’t have to hide anymore!
Come to Jesus
His scars will heal you if you let Him

Dear Lord,

Be with those who don’t want to hide any more, that want to come out and come to you with their concerns. Let them know what you will be there for them and for everyone no matter where they are in their walk with Jesus. Help them come to you during the Lenten season and prepare for what Easter is truly about.

Amen.
