Burden & Blessing

The 9th episode in our ongoing series on the book of Psalms.

This was written during a dark period of David’s life – literally and metaphorically. The heading of the psalm indicates that this psalm was a prayer from David to God when David was hiding out in a cave. The intensity of the persecutions and dangers that David faced had grown, he even admits in the psalm that he has no power against his persecutors. David’s only hope was that the LORD God would hear his prayer. As God demonstrated to David, so also we hope – He will never leave or forsake us!

The Skeptic or Skeptical Christian might respond to the loss of a loved one, “He/She was such a good person, why would God let them suffer like that?” Explore the depths of this question today by considering why we can’t always understand God’s timing and bigger picture (Isaiah 55:8-9), how God is always trying to draw a person and family closer to Him (Pro. 3:5-6), and in comparing that temporary suffering to the eternal suffering Jesus endured for us all to give us peace in life and death. We pray the Lord would bring you this peace again today!
