Trust in the Lord: even in doubt

How long, Lord? Will you forget me forever?
How long will you hide your face from me? How long must I wrestle with my thoughts
and day after day have sorrow in my heart?
How long will my enemy triumph over me? Look on me and answer, Lord my God.
Give light to my eyes, or I will sleep in death, and my enemy will say, "I have overcome him,"
and my foes will rejoice when I fall. But I trust in your unfailing love;
my heart rejoices in your salvation. I will sing the Lord's praise,
for he has been good to me.
(Psalm 13:1-6 NIV)

David had times of doubt and he felt abandoned by God. Yet he continues to trust our Lord and remember that God has been good to him before. In the end David knows he is hopeless and would not have true and eternal life unless God is with him.

And his heart rejoices in God's salvation. He rejoices now in life not later!

God I doubt but I want to trust you more. Lord you have given me so many good things. But I want to trust you and rejoice in you because you love me and have saved me! Lord use me for your glory. I pray others would come to know you and the joy of your salvation through me.
Amen
