Psalm 13

The 5th verse of psalm 13 provides a snapshot of not only the psalmist's faith but also mine. We share a trust in God's faithfulness. He has said he would act and there has been time after time when he delivered just as he promised. So his past faithfulness has been demonstrated to me. But there are times when the temptation to depend upon men rather than wait on the Lord is strong. That is the same struggle noted by the psalmist at the end of verse 5. That is where the walk of faith becomes a test of my faith. I look forward to a clarity in God's purpose. And I hope that my walk will align with his purpose. When they do I will join the psalmist and rejoice in the Lord.
