Episode Synopsis

PSALM 13 is the shortest prayer for help in the Psalter. It provides a wonderful framework for our cries to the Lord. It begins with "How long, O Lord?" I find I often approach the Lord in this way Usually my enemy is my own sin, sin I have struggled with in varying degrees for years. The Psalmist continues with what will happen if the Lord does not rescue him. He closes with wonderful statements of faith and expectation:
"But I trust in your unfailing love; my heart rejoices in your salvation. I will sing to the Lord, for he has been good to me." These true statements of faith make my heart soar.
Let's join the writer of the psalm and trust God's unfailing love and salvation. Let us remember all his goodness to us.
