Thoughts on Psalm 13
Psalm 13 is Psalm asking where God is during a time of trouble.
The Psalmist accuses God of forgetting him. He asks how long God is going to hide from him. He asks God how long he is going to be sad, and how long his enemies will be raised above him.
Can you imagine asking God where is He is, and why He doesn’t seem to be doing anything? The Psalmist crying out for God to do something.
Having made that bold statement, the Psalmist details what he would like God to do. He prays that God will protect him.
He then says how he trusts in God, and how will sing unto the Lord.
No matter how bad things are for him. Even though he just finished accusing God of forgetting him, he still praises and trusts God.
Sometimes, it seems like God has forgotten us. Sometimes, it seeems like God is hidng from us. Sometimes, it seems like we are surrounded on all sides, and no matter what happens, we will lose. In times like that, we need to place our trust in God, and sing to the Lord. He has given us so much, and He deserves our praise.
