Worship for Today: The Lord has been good to us!

The Lord is awe-inspiring, fascinating, intriguing, majestic, and full of splendor: breathtaking! Here is what I saw of him in Psalm 13:6,
 
"I will sing to the Lord, for he has been good to me."

 

David pens these words at a time when he felt abandoned and forsaken by the Lord. "How long, O Lord? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me?" He faced his enemy, verse 4, and had concern that he would gloat over his destruction.

 

But we read of David's persistent faith, his tenacity in clinging to the Lord. He says "But I trust in your unfailing love; my heart rejoices in your salvation." In the end David finds his relief in the Lord. "I will sing to the Lord, for he has been good to me."

 

Such is our Lord. He is good to us. I am reminded of Paul's words in Romans 8:28, "We know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose." There Paul tells us that in the very midst of what we find difficult and challenging, the Lord is there, and he is working those circumstances for our good.
