As we start a new week, on a brisk Monday morning I have feeling many of you might be saying this to God, just like David did in Psalms 13.
How long Lord??! Have you forgotten about me? Am I supposed to wrestle with these thoughts every day?
One thing about David that I am finding as I read psalms every week is this…. The sucker was consistent. It seems like everyday he wrote about struggles, pains, sorrows, and then pleaded with God to hear him, answer him or deliver him. But just as consistent as his pleas for help or his complaints about others were, so were his praises of God. This song is no different. By the end of this short chapter after bascially demanding God to give him an answer, David relents and seems to take a deep breath, let it out and say….. I trust you..
Not sure what you are waiting on God for today, but I bet there is someihtng . I bet there is problem or situation that you would really like God to take care of….Today as you start your week, take a moment to give whatever it is your waiting on a solution to, deliver from or help with…. over to God. Take a deep breathe, relax and say….. I trust you.
Psalm 13
1 How long, Lord? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me? 2 How long must I wrestle with my thoughts and day after day have sorrow in my heart? How long will my enemy triumph over me?
3 Look on me and answer, Lord my God. Give light to my eyes, or I will sleep in death, 4 and my enemy will say, “I have overcome him,” and my foes will rejoice when I fall.
5 But I trust in your unfailing love; my heart rejoices in your salvation. 6 I will sing the Lord’s praise, for he has been good to me.
