A family friend was deserted by her husband and left to care for her small children alone. I wonder how she’ll make it.
A
grandmother wrote Radio Bible Class asking for prayer for her
grandchildren who all seem to be throwing their lives away on the things
of this world. I feel sadness.
My
teenage daughter talked about the poverty she saw among believers in a
country she visited on a missions trip. I search for answers. Why such
inequities?
Then
I look at Psalm 18. David had his own list of troubles. He was
threatened by enemies (v.3), surrounded by “the pangs of death” and “the
floods of ungodliness” (v.4).
What
hope could there be in his situation? Would the help come in the form
of money, soldiers, powerful weapons, or people who would come to his
aid? No, David’s help came from an inexhaustible source—the Lord, whom
David called “my rock and my fortress and my deliverer” (v.2).
Like
all of us, David faced adversity. But as Psalm 18 indicates, when our
problems are pitted against our Lord’s strength, it’s no contest.
Are you in distress? Call on the Lord. He will always hear your voice.
Even in my darkest hour
The Lord will bless me with His power;
His loving grace will sure abound,
In His sweet care I shall be found. —Brandt
All is not hopeless when your hope is in God.
