"But I trust in your unfailing love; my heart rejoices in your salvation." ~Psalm 13:5, NIV
If you have time today, I recommend reading all of Psalm 13. David is crying out to God, asking Him "how long" will he be forgotten? All of his enemies are around him, jeering that his God is not there. David feels forsaken, alone, lost. He's on the losing side, God seems to be far away.
Yeah. That's what David's telling and asking God about. "No pressure, Sir, You're the ruler of the universe, not me, but You did say you wouldn't leave me. So where are You?" It's after telling God that that David makes the above proclamation: I trust in Your unfailing love.
Okay, so David's pretty cool. But his life had a lot of parts in it that I wouldn't want to take part in. Lions, tigers, bears, crazy kings, entire nations: he had a lot of enemies. And sometimes it seemed that God wanted his enemies to win.
Yet. David still trusted in God's divine plan. And look where it led him! You've probably heard how God has a plan for you. Well, funny thing, it's true. Even if it doesn't seem like it, God loves you with an immeasurable love, and His plan for you is incredibly awesome.
It may not seem like it. But it's true. You can trust Him. His people, maybe not on your own, but Him? Yeah.
