Daily Reflection
Can you relate to the intense cry for help we read in this Psalm? Is it almost comforting to see that you are not alone when you feel attacked or betrayed? Here David describes the kind of persistent oppression and betrayal he has been facing. His initial request to God is "do not remain silent." How many times had he asked God for justice or rescue and the situation continued? He's persisted in this prayer to the point of being gaunt from fasting. Can you relate to the desperateness of the situation? Have you felt as though there's a deafening silence on the other end of your prayers for rescue? Yet, David doesn't lose faith in God's love or power, but humbly continues to reach out in his cries for help and justice. In the face of God's seeming silence, David chooses to praise and extol him for his goodness and love. He does not let his circumstances determine who God is. Pray that despite your circumstances, God would give you eyes to see his goodness and love for you.
