Psalm 13: 1-6


How long O Lord? Will You forget me forever? How long will You hide Your face from me? How long shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart daily? How long will my enemy be exalted over me? Consider and hear me, O Lord my God; Enlighten my eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death; lest my enemy say, I have prevailed against him; Lest those who trouble me rejoice when I am moved. But I have trusted in Your mercy; My heart shall rejoice in Your salvationl I will sing to the Lord, because He has dealt bountifully with me.


Psalm 13 is about trust in the Lord and in salvation. It is written by David. David is questioning God about if he has be forgotten, however, by the end of the psalm he is praising God. David asks that God enlighten him so that he does not die. He tells God of his trust and his joy in the Lord's salvation because of all the Lord has done for him.


This passage reminds me of myself. I question God continually about his will for me and what path my life has taken. Sometimes I feel that the Lord has forgotten me or turned from me. I have to remind myself that God has not moved---I have. Enlighten me. This means to me that I want God to help me understand Him more. Show me the way. Light the path. I need to remember to rejoice in the small victories of each day and not wallow in misery.
