There are many who say,
“Who will show us any good?”
Lord, lift up the light of Your countenance upon us.
7 You have put gladness in my heart,
More than in the season that their grain and wine increased. vv.6-7
Read chapter 4
This psalm is a continuation of psalm 3 after the trouble of David fleeing Absalom and his words afterwards. Many ask questions of uncertainty like "who will show us any good?" But there is never uncertainty with God. Like David we should ask with full confidence for God to light our way. Because of David's confidence in the Lord he was full of joy . This is more than just being happy about some circumstance, but joy in the darkest of times. That joy supersedes the best harvest. A gladness of more than what flows from natural circumstances, but gladness that came from overcoming a trial. Have you felt this joy before? What is a trial that made you more joyful and confidence in the Lord when you go through it? How can you find that joy in a trail you're facing currently?
