Verse five of this brief psalm should look familiar. Here is a running theme in psalm-based worship: the hope for tomorrow in the middle of the hopelessness of today. The psalmist here is terrified at the current situation- God seems absent, enemies seem rampant. Yet the soul finds some comfort in the hope of God's renewal, even if it doesn't come today.
How does hope of God's renewal of the world give you strength today?
He is the same today as he was yesterday and will be tomorrow. He is always near no matter what. I think of the song 'Lean On Me'. Why do I struggle so lone before I remember that? ugh
