Remember

8 Let me hear of your unfailing love each morning, for I am trusting you. Show me where to walk, for I give myself to you. (‭‭‭Psalms‬ ‭143‬‬:‭8‬ ‭NLT‬‬)

In verse 4 of this Psalm David states he is losing hope and paralysed with fear. Then he goes on to say, but I will remember the days of old. In verse 7 he says: come quickly Lord as my depression deepens.

We are watching the unfolding of David’s trust process, he admits his fear and depression but reminds himself of God’s goodness. He asks God to silence his enemies and destroy his foes because he is God’s servant. He is in a hard place.

We know the outcome of all David faced as we read scripture. He goes on the become king. This tenure is fraught with his sin, and his son’s rebellion and attempt to usurp the throne. However, David finally triumphs.

Through the Psalms we see David’s suffering and trust in God. His trust overcomes and wins him the title of the Man who Loved God. May we also persevere and win the crown of life! Amen!
