Today’s passage: Psalm 142
Helpful thoughts:
- It is good for us to take our laments to the Lord in prayer!
- This Psalm we written while David was hiding in the cave from King Saul (As was Psalm 57).
- David could not depend on or rest in people. God is the one in whom we can always depend.
Questions to consider:
- In times of rejoicing and in times of lament, what does God already know? Why is it important to go to Him in both seasons of life?
- What was David’s expectation from the Lord? What was his expectation concerning his response to his rescue?
- If there was no one taking notice of David in a helpful way, but there would be “the righteous” to rejoice with after God acted, what would have to happen? What would God’s faithfulness and David’s willingness to testify to it do in the hearts of other people?
