”Blessed be the Lord, for he has heard the sound of my pleading. The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and I am helped. Therefore my heart celebrates, and I give thanks to him with my song.“
Psalms 28:6-7 CSB
David begins this Psalm telling God that he needs help. He follows that with pleading that God will listen to him, answer him and powerfully work in his life. David says the very things we feel while in the midst of suffering or trial: Are You listening? Are You even there? Do You care about me? We are tempted to suspect the answer to all of those questions is “NO”! We feel alone and hopeless…
Then you get to the last few verses and David sees help arrive and his feeling change in an instant. He is transformed from despair to delight because God is at work. In a flash, David goes from hopeless to happy and claims God as his strength and the only one who can save Him.
Lord give me eyes to see Your fingerprints around me. Allow me to see Your help and give You the credit for it. Help me to rejoice in the strength that You bring and bolster my confidence that You will continue to show up in the future, build my faith in You!
