Depression is a terrible thing. There are those that live every day of their lives fighting against an invisible force that seems to weight their mind down. They can't think straight, nor can they give a rational explanation as to why they can't keep their mind on anything for any length of time. Depression not only hurts the person whom are in that state, it hurts the entire family. Depressed people withdraw into a shell, hoping others will just leave them alone. And the awful truth in, many times they are left alone, because their family and friends, just don't know what to do or say.
David felt this when he was in the cave of Adullam. He felt deserted, not only by the people, But by God Himself. We read many times in the book of Psalm's, David describing how he felt as God stood at his right hand. But this Psalm we read that David was even without the presents of God by his side. How very lonely David must have felt, how completely desolate he must have felt all alone in the dark cave.
Ps 142:4 I looked on my right hand, and beheld, but there was no man that would know me: refuge failed me; no man cared for my soul. Remember this friends there is no place where God can't go. No matter how dark the cave God is there. He's with us no matter what. He will never forsake us. Whatever your or my needs are, God is there to supply them. I hope that if you are depressed. If you are having feelings of despair, feelings where you may feel, deserted, unloved. Remember God loves you so very much. Call on Him. I promise He will be there for you.
Until next time God bless and God save.
