I will sing to the Lord because he is good to me.
Psalm 13;6
To read this verse by itself, it seems that the writer (David) has no problems. If we go back and read the entire Psalm then you will see that David is stressed out! He is going through major struggles and worried that God has not heard his cries. "O Lord, how long will you forget me Forever? How long will you look the other way? 2 How long must I struggle with anguish in my soul, with sorrow in my heart every day? How long will my enemy have the upper hand?" Psalm 13:1-2
David has seen God work in his life many times. David was a man after God's own heart! "But God removed Saul and replaced him with David, a man about whom God said, ‘I have found David son of Jesse, a man after my own heart. He will do everything I want him to do.’" Acts 13;22
So why is David not trusting in God and that he feels abandoned? Our trials we have can make us forget about what God has already done in our life. Israel was notorious for this through the Old Testament! What God wants us to do is worship! You say worship " how can i worship during trials in my life?" Lets look at Job, everything was taken from him, money, investments, his health, and his own children! God allowed this because he knew that Job was going to bring worship and give all glory back to Him."While he was still speaking, another messenger arrived with this news: “Your sons and daughters were feasting in their oldest brother’s home. 19 Suddenly, a powerful wind swept in from the wilderness and hit the house on all sides. The house collapsed, and all your children are dead. I am the only one who escaped to tell you.”
20 Job stood up and tore his robe in grief. Then he shaved his head and fell to the ground to worship. 21 He said, “I came naked from my mother’s womb, and I will be naked when I leave.
The Lord gave me what I had, and the Lord has taken it away. Praise the name of the Lord!”
22 In all of this, Job did not sin by blaming God. Job 1:18-22
Job brought worship to God in middle of a tragedy! When tragedy hits we forget what God has done for us. But this is the time when all glory and praise needs to go to Him! Our verse "I will sing to the Lord because he is good to me. Psalm 13:6 David brought his praise to God during a trial and gave Him glory! Even though he had doubt and even questioned God, David remembered his God does not forsake or leave him. That is the same God you serve, The Father is there for you through Jesus Christ! Remember what He has done for you and give Him praise and honor and glory back to Him. True worship comes in the middle of storms, and He will rain down His love upon you. God Bless you.......Today set a time to worship Him and give back to Him the Glory He deserves!
