For the Purpose of Godliness - Saturday Morning 11/4/17

How long, Lord? Will you forget me forever? . . . But I trust in your unfailing love. Psalm 13:1, 5

In our deepest struggle, we turn to the songs of David because he writes out of his own grief. “How long must I wrestle with my thoughts and day after day have sorrow in my heart?” he asked (Ps. 13:2). “Give light to my eyes, or I will sleep in death” (v. 3). Yet David could give his biggest questions to God. “But I trust in your unfailing love; my heart rejoices in your salvation” (v. 5).

Only God can bring ultimate significance to our most tragic events.
