Well, my Buckeyes looked pedestrian at best today and I can tell that next Saturday vs USC could very well be a repeat of last year's crushing loss.
So maybe this gut-wrenching psalm can bring some encouragement...probably on a bigger level, huh!
I can't imagine being under the immense discouragement and pressure and fear that David sat under with the very real enemies that he had coming at him. His story is one of such ups and downs that sometimes we try to figure out how he could really be a "man after God's own heart." But just stop and think about how much of David's life he spent running and hiding and in real fear for his life.
He's discouraged and sees no end to the real feeling that God has turned his back on him. He asks God four times, "how long?" as if it has been a while since he's felt the real presence of the Lord. His awesome faith wraps up the end and just should elate us as those who have trusted in Jesus' grace and mercy.
He remembers that his faith in God's Mercy is what has brought him salvation and that God's love/mercy is permanent. So glad I trust in that same mercy and grace. You?
