Ps 30:5 For His anger is but for a moment, but His favor is for a lifetime {or} in His favor is life. Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning.
Ps 30:6 As for me, in my prosperity I said, I shall never be moved.
Ps 30:7 By Your favor, O Lord, You have established me as a strong mountain; You hid Your face, and I was troubled.
Ps 30:8 I cried to You, O Lord, and to the Lord I made supplication.
Ps 30:9 What profit is there in my blood, when I go down to the pit (the grave)? Will the dust praise You? Will it declare Your truth {and} faithfulness to men?
Ps 30:10 Hear, O Lord, have mercy {and} be gracious to me! O Lord, be my helper!
The Bible says: The poor man cried out unto the Lord, and HE heard him, and HE answered him, and HE delivered him out of all of his troubles. God can not lift us up unless we are bowed down. In a pit of depression and dispair, know that Jesus descended into hell and Jesus will meet you right where you are and sometimes we have to be on the bottom to "look" up and seek God. This writer says it like it is. IN his prosperity he had boasted how he would not be moved. In the world today, the Bible would probably refer to us as "you have gotten "fat" and full and need nothing? When someone has lived in one house for fifty years, all their needs are met, they are not apt to understand what it is like to not have a roof over your head. That may be why expensive houses are sliding off of cliffs and other places houses were not meant to be built? When God hides His face, when His voice is not heard by us, we feel it, we cry out to Him and ask, are you still there? God will not forsake us, and His mercy is new every morning and with grace and His favor He will sustain us. God is a ever present help in time of need, but why do we wait until we have a need? Why do we wait until we hit rock bottom to ask His help? If you wonder why you have not heard His voice, and you feel all alone in what you are going through and no one cares? Jesus is only a prayer away.
