Brothers and sisters in Christ,
We continue with our study of the Psalms by moving on to Psalm 13. Psalm 13 is a wonderful psalm for those who feel as if they have been waiting for an answer to prayer that hasn’t come. The “how long†of the first two verses probably echoes what many of us feel as we face the times we live in and the difficulties that come with it. David in the psalm has obviously prayed for deliverance from something, but has not yet received an answer to that prayer.
In the end he anticipates the faithful God being faithful! Thus the psalm finishes with the declaration that David would sing to the Lord because the Lord had dealt bountifully with him. So we can anticipate God’s dealing bountifully with us, because of how God has dealt with us in the past. Thus we sing!
In Christ’s name and service,
Pastor Robert Weller
