“I will be glad and rejoice in your love, for you saw my affliction and knew the anguish of my soul.” -Psalm 31:7 (NIV)
Going to the Psalms, the songbook we have in the Bible, is a good response to any affliction we may encounter. For us and all who truly believe in God our Father as our Lord and Savior, we know that difficult times come our way. God allows events and circumstances which challenge our faith to be in our path and we have to trust in His wisdom and guidance. God sees us when this is happening. He knows what affliction we have and He is weaving it together for good into His perfect plan for our lives. We can know this just as the psalmist, David knew it. David knew to take refuge in God whenever he needed deliverance. Maybe that is what we are needing today? We need and ask for deliverance from the trial and the uncertainty that have flooded our lives? We can rejoice and even be glad before we ask because we know God has already seen our affliction. He will respond and He promises to strengthen us and be gracious to us. Let us rejoice today.
