Excerpt from God Speaks into Darkness (Easterling): Soul Food for the Weary
Soul Food for the Weary Inspired by Psalm 16 If you develop a toothache, you go to a dentist, right? If you need glasses, you call an optometrist; if you need money, a banker. But what if you’re soul-weary? “Where could I go but to the Lord? Seeking a refuge for my soul Needing a friend to help me in the end (Brother won’t you tell me?) Where could I go, O where could I go, where could I go but to the Lord?” (Gaither Vocal Band) The psalmist declares: “The Lord himself is my inheritance, my prize. He is my food and drink, my highest joy! He guards all that is mine. He sees that I’m given pleasant brooks and meadows. I will bless the Lord who counsels me; giving me wisdom in the night. He tells me what to do. Save me, O God, because I have come to you for refuge. I said to him, ‘You are my Lord, I have no other help but you.’”
