[:en]CONCEIVED IN CRISIS
David fled from his enemies for fear of his life. In Psalm 57, he wrote: I am in the midst of lions. I lie among ravenous beasts — men whose teeth are spears and arrows, whose tongues are sharp swords” (v. 4). But inspite of his predicament, he was able to sing praises to the Lord in crisis.
“Be exalted, O God, above the heavens, let your glory be over all the earth” (v. 5, 11).
“My heart is steadfast, O God, my heart is steadfast; I will sing and make music” (v. 7)
“I will praise you, O Lord, among the nations. I will sing of you among the peoples. For great is your love, reaching to the heavens; your faithfulness reaches to the skies.” (v. 9)
Whatever crisis we face today, we can run to God for help. Then, we can also praise Him as we wait expectantly confident in His infinitely creative care for us.
Your next crisis is your next opportunity to trust our unfailing God. – (Tim Gustafson)[:]
