That you have forgotten the LORD your Maker,This struck me because, as much as I like to try and deny it, I do live most of my days in fear. Fear of being caught slacking off. Fear of being unprepared. Fear of never achieving the things I want to achieve, or getting the things I want to have.
Who stretched out the heavens
And laid the foundations of the earth,
That you fear continually all day long because of the fury of the oppressor,
As he makes ready to destroy?
But where is the fury of the oppressor?
And yet, in all that, God is still there, with all the answers for my questions, if only I would trust that those answers will be revealed in time. I'm not going to claim that I'll like all the answers. In fact, probably part of my fear is that God's answers won't match the ones I want to hear. But I must learn to better trust Him, or I will continue in my current cycle of self-damage and unimportance.
