The Psalmist in Psalm 28 once again cries out to God for
help with those he considers his enemies.
Nothing particular jumps out to me about this Psalm today. When we make scripture reading part of our
everyday lives, there will be days that nothing particular speaks volumes into
your heart. Then there will come a day
that the very thing you read a week ago will suddenly speak volumes to you in
the moment.
The important thing about this Psalm for me today is the
understanding that our prayers may very well be the same with a bit of a
different variation every day. That is
okay. The important thing is that we
recognize that it is God that we go to with our troubled hearts. It is God that we put our trust in. It is God who we hand over our lives to and
allow to hold in his loving and faithful arms.
People will fail us. God never
will.
The Psalmist recognizes that it is to God he should
cry. The Psalmist also feels like there
are times that God feels silent to him.
Yet even in those moments that he feels God is silent, it is God that he
turns to and asks not to be silent. The
Lord does hear our prayers even when we don’t feel like it. The Lord is our strength! In that and that alone we can trust.
In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy
Spirit! AMEN!
