I carried you. ( Isaiah 63 v 9 )

We continue looking at Psalm 27 ,so let us consider the last part of v 9,and v 10,in v 9 we read,'Cast me not off, forsake me not,O God of my salvation' ( E S V).He prays the unthinkable that in this, his time of need, he would be left alone, bereft of the very presence of His God. For any believer this is the worse  possible scenario,how could they cope?,the fact is they couldn't,some times for Christians who are suffering great trials ,they must identify with the words of the Psalm,or like Job who cried out ,'Oh, that I knew where I  could find Him'  (  Job 23 v 3 ). There is popular poem I will leave it with  you,It is called, 'Footprints in the sand'.'  'One night I dreamed I was walking along the beach with the Lord. Many scenes   from my life flashed across the sky. each scene I noticed footprints in the sand,sometimes there were two sets of  footprints,other times there was one only. . This bothered me because I noticed that during the low periods of my life,when I was suffering anguish , sorrow or defeat. I could see only one set of footprints, so I said to the Lord, you promised me Lord, that if   I  followed you,you would walk with me always.         But I have noticed that during the most trying periods of my life,there has been one set of  footprints in the sand.. When I needed you most, have you been there for me.?. The Lord replied,''The years when you have seen only one set of  footprints, my child,is when I carried you''.
