“A Time to Pivot” Psalm 42

In every crisis, there are stages that must be walked through. As difficult as the path may be, we are reminded that God walks with us, even guiding our uncertain steps along the way. First we panic, next we pause, then the awkward time of being perplexed which ultimately leads to the pivot. The Psalmist records the pattern for us of moving from times of distress and uncertainty, with God’s help, into a new balance of faith (the path of peace).
