Trusting God Through Trials

Text: Psalm 13

God’s Apparent Absence (13:1-2)

• David’s perspective is that God has abandoned him as he cries out, “How long?”
• We need to filter our feelings of God’s absence through the truth of God’s omnipresence.

God’s Apparent Indifference (13:3-4)

• David’s perspective is that God is not at work for His good.
• We need to filter our feelings of God’s indifference through the truth of God’s omniscience.

God’s Bountiful Love and Goodness (13:5-6)

• David’s perspective changes as he trusts in God, rejoices in God, and sings to God.
• We need to allow God’s unfailing love and unchanging goodness to shape our perspective.
