Psalm 13:5-6 (NKJV) 5 But I have trusted in Your mercy; My heart shall rejoice in Your salvation. 6 I will sing to the Lord, Because He has dealt bountifully with me.
The 13th Psalm is a prayer of David.
In his prayer, David sought God, asking how long it would be before He answered David’s requests.
He wondered how long his enemy would be exalted over him.
He wrestled with the sorrow in his heart.
And he cried out for God to hear him and enlighten his eyes, lest he sleep the sleep of death.
It is very easy to see that David was in tough shape, badly needing God’s intervention on his behalf.
But David didn’t sulk. He didn’t walk away from God. And he didn’t abandon his faith in God.
What did he do?
He rejoiced in his salvation.
He sang to the Lord.
And he expressed his absolute trust in God, stating that God had dealt with him bountifully (abundantly).
This is a great lesson for us all to learn; to trust in God no matter what we face, whether He answers us right away, or we have to wait in silence.
He is worthy of our trust.
Amen
