Good Morning Friends,
I appreciate the honesty of the Psalms. In them you can see when David was angry with
God because it did not seem like God was hearing him or doing anything to help
him. And you can also see David’s trust
in God. See the contrast in these two
passages that David wrote:
“Answer me when I call to you, O my righteous
God. Give me relief from my distress; be
merciful to me and hear my prayer. How
long, O men, will you turn my glory into shame?
How long will you love delusions and seek false gods? Selah” (Psalm 4:1-2)
“The LORD is a refuge for the oppressed, a
stronghold in times of trouble. Those
who know your name will trust in you, for you, LORD, have never forsaken those
who seek you.” (Psalm 9:9-10)
David had not learned to trust God because
everything in his life was good. Often,
he was oppressed by those around him and seemingly abandoned by God. There are psalms that reflect great distress
in David’s life.
Be honest with God, He already knows what you
are feeling anyway. In the end, even
through the times of oppression and distress, you will see God’s hand, His care
for you and learn to trust Him.
His, by grace,
Steve
