Episodebeskrivelse
When you read Psalm 13 from the beginning, verses 5-6 are a surprise ending. The psalmist begins, “How long, O LORD? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me?” (v. 1). The writer knows God well even though his current situation seems dire.
One word shows us his faith: the word “but” at the beginning of verse 5. The writer has trusted in God’s steadfast love for a long time now and admits that God’s love has been unwavering. My pastor looks through the prayer requests in old bulletins to see how God answered those prayers. The longer we walk this Christian path, the more evidence we have that God has been with us, rendering blessings all along the way. Look back and see for yourself.
