Psalm 138

When I was a young man, I was encouraged by David’s life and writings. Everyday, I would sing through five Psalms and read one Proverb. The last verse of Psalm 138 became my motto when I was going through the Refiner’s Fire.

The Lord will work out his plans for my life— for your faithful love, O Lord, endures forever. Don’t abandon me, for you made me (with Your hands). [NLT & NLV]

My mentor, Moses Vegh, used to say, “The only thing worse than falling into God’s fearful hands was to fall OUT of them.”

I recommend that you memorize this verse if you are in the fire. It can provide the assurance you may need to keep committed to the process.
