Have you ever felt like God was not listening to you? Or that He was mad at you? Or that He had abandoned you? If we are not careful, we can allow our circumstances to make us lose hope in God.
David opens Psalm 10 with two important questions: 1) God, why do You seem so far away? 2) God, why are You hiding from me? He ends the Psalm with a reminder of the faithfulness of God to His followers.
The most important thing we need to remember when we experience a period of suffering is this: We must allow what we know about God and His character to drive our thoughts and faith. God never changes. He is always faithful and always acts in love. We can trust Him, even if what we are experiencing casts doubts about that in our hearts.
Choose to believe what God’s word says about God. Let His promises and truth guide you. He will intervene. He will help you endure whatever season you are going through. The result will be PRAISE!
