Psalm 9
The Lord has a history of caring for and working out the details for the righteous who are oppressed. David has seen and bears witness to the Lord's justice, and it is a beautiful thing. But sometimes His faithfulness in the past, His role as judge, and His promise of justice for the future seem far away. So at the heart of the psalm, David reminds us of God's good care and promise. The second half of verse 10 is a sweet refreshment for those in the midst of any struggle. "For You, oh Lord, have not forsaken those who seek You." Appearances and circumstances may say something different, but the promise is that God has not forsaken this special group of people. But this is not a generalized promise for all of mankind, or the person who only calls to God in the moment of crisis. This is specifically for those who seek the Lord. That is not a reference to those who ignore Him and suddenly are in trouble. The one who seeks the Lord is not forsaken even in the depths of suffering.
“Lord, help me remember Your faithfulness even in the most difficult moments. AMEN”
