“They wandered in the wilderness in a solitary way; they found no city to dwell in. Hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted in them. Then they cried unto the Lord in their trouble, and he delivered them out of their distresses.” (Psalms 107: 4-6)

This psalm depicts a people in desperate straits, alone and without a place to call home. They feel hopeless and have nearly given up.

Then, humbly, they turn to God to help them. All the material obstacles, every trial, all the weary wandering, comes to an end. They are delivered—not only from the trouble they seem to be in, but from their fears, their distress over it. Peace comes, and with it, guidance, help, rescue.

We may ourselves be struggling to find a place of security, mentally or physically. We may feel that we are running out of steam and have lost all hope. Or we may see others in challenging situations that we feel are beyond aid. But it doesn’t matter how long something seems to have endured, or how far we’ve roamed into fear and darkness, we can turn to God for deliverance. And we can expect our eyes to be opened to what is real, right, saving, healing, and already at hand.

And then we can learn, going forward, that the solitary wandering is never truly our state of being. God has always been there with us, and we can seek Him and find Him, right where we are, with answers and with Love.
