Why God am I going through this?
“Allow your circumstances to draw you closer to the Lord!”
-Psalm 42:1-2 as the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for you, my God. My soul thirsts for God.
-John 7:38: believe in Him, rivers of living water will flow within you

Psalm 37:3-6 we are commanded to:
Trust Him, do good, take delight in Him, commit to Him
-He will give you the desires of your heart and give you your righteous reward and vindication
-This is based upon your faithful reliance on Him!
-So, live a life of faith in Christ!

Psalm 34
V8: taste and see that the Lord is good
V9: For those who fear him lack nothing
V10: Seek the Lord-you lack no good thing
Be like David and extol him, glory in him, glorify him, seek him
He is good and you will lack nothing!

Psalm 30:5b weeping may stay for the night-Joy comes in the morning.
James 1:2-4 count it all joy when facing trials because testing your faith builds perseverance and spiritual maturity
Romans 8:18: present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed

apart from you I have no good thing

this only do I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life

HE IS OUR ONE AND ONLY THING TO DESIRE
