Psalm 28-35
Read today’s news, and you’ll quickly see that life is filled with trouble. Natural disasters. Destructive fires. Unexpected deaths. Political intrigue. Chemical attacks. Ongoing wars. Child abuse. Stock market issues. Terrorist attacks. Frankly, the world is so frightening that it almost feels best not to think about these things at all.
I am reminded today, though, that no matter what we face in life, we can have confidence in the Lord. The psalmist knew that truth and leaned on it regardless of what enemies he faced. Let his words speak for themselves:
- “Blessed be the Lord, for he has heard the sound of my pleading.” (Psa 28:6)
- “Lord my God, I cried to you for help, and you healed me.” (Psa 30:2)
- “But I trust in you, Lord; I say, ‘You are my God.’ The course of my life is in your power; rescue me from the power of my enemies and from my persecutors.” (Psa 31:14-15)
- “The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears, and rescues them from all their troubles. The Lord is near the brokenhearted; he saves those crushed in spirit.” (Psa 34:17-18)
We can trust God no matter what we face today.
RESPONSE: Cry out to the Lord, and trust Him today.
