Surprise of the Day

Sometimes David doubted God even existed.  

PSALM 42

Fact Of the Day

When sometimes David doubted God even existed (it happens to everyone sometimes), he debated with himself.  His heart comforted his soul.

• .“Where is your God?”
• “Why are you in despair?”
• “Why have you forsaken me?”
• “Why are you in despair?”

And he answers his own doubts::

• “Hope, for I shall yet praise him.”
• “I remember.”
• “Hope in God.”
• “His song will be with me.”
• “For I shall yet praise him.”

This is a beautiful psalm and Christians today sing the first part of it:  “As a dear pants for the water brooks, so my soul pants for you, O God.”

Did you recognize how Jesus repeated David from the cross?  “My God, why have you forsake me?”  But Jesus never asked a question he did not know the answer to.  Just before he died, Jesus said “God, I’m coming home.”
