Before the days of Cyndi Lauper, there was someone who was there, time after time. Thus, when I read the chorus line of this #1 hit song of 1984, I was brought
If you’re lost you can look and you will find me,
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you I’ll be waiting
Time after time
back in time to the days of my youth. However, I recently discovered another artist who gives a similar account in Psalm 116.
This unnamed source gives credit to the Lord in verse 1. After investigating their past, one thing was clear, God had rescued this individual time after time according to Psalm 116:3-6. Like a children crying out for help, verse 7 provides an outline for prayer which appears to have been successful every time, Psalm 116:8.
From sheer trial and error, I have learned the pain of disappointment. Although Cyndi Lauper’s lyrics sound great on the surface, its impossible for one person to be there to catch or find you every time. Whoever was inspired by God to write this Psalm of the Bible also recognized this truth. Therefore, if you want to be confident, put your full trust into the Great I Am. Like the Psalmist, you will find, He is there for you, time after time!
