Notice on a slight format change:

Except for July 2012, these are mostly a collection of current devotional notes.

July 2012 is a re-write of old quiet times. My second child was born Nov 11, 1987 with multiple birth defects. I've been re-reading my QT notes from that time in my life, and have included them here. They cover the time before the birth and the few years immediately after the birth. They are tagged "historical." I added new insights and labeled them: ((TODAY, dd mmm yy)).

QT 7/27/2022 Ps 22:1, He understands my pain and more

Psalm 22:1 (ESV) — My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?

Why are you so far from saving me, from the words of my groaning?

 

NOTE: David's cry was literally also Jesus' cry as he hung on the cross carrying the sins of the world. At that moment in time, sin separated the God-head trinity. The relationship was broken. I don't know what that means and I don't how that looked. I only know that the eternal relationship in the trinity was broken for some period so that Jesus could feel our pain and take away our sins. I'm sure it was deep, heart-wrenching, and painful. And it satisfy the wrath of God toward our sins. Jesus took our place.

 

PONDER:

  1. Do I believe that Jesus understands my suffering?

 

PRAYER: Father, you do understand our suffering. Our problem is that we don't understand your suffering. Our choices to sin and rebel is proof that we don't understand the price you paid for our salvation. Forgive us for our carelessness toward our salvation. Thank you for this new life in you.
