Psalm 88

It took about 2 minutes to read this psalm. Korah writes a psalm that seems to overflow with hopelessness. But the first line of all three stanzas proclaim a hope in God. The begining of the last stanza speaks the clearest. Korah appears to be saying; "Even if everything is collapsing around me, I will not give up my hope in God Almighty." That is a hard statement to live. Job's life is that statement in the flesh. So also was Jesus' life on earth. His prayers in Gethsemene are focused right in line with Korah's. We need to be willing to make that same statement, "I will not give up my hope in God Almighty!"
