Psalm 31

"I am forgotten like a dead man, out of mind;
I am like a broken vessel." v.12

Read chapter 31.
Another psalm of David when he seems to be facing an illness and grief from his enemies and his people (v.11).  Because of this people seem to being moving on looking for a new king as if David were already dead, starting to forget him.  David says he feels like a "broken vessel" in the sense that once it's broken, it's useless and needs another.  Yet God works contrary to man's thinking.  The Lord delivered David from his enemies and his illness and restores him back as a strong and healthy king, "preserving the faithful" (v.23).  We can see this same parallel with the man Jesus Christ in that once He died, His enemies thought that was it and wouldn't trouble them and their ways any further, but He rose and returned and put them and the devil to shame.  How often do we feel forgotten and useless because of what others have or haven't done to or for us?  How have you felt broken and not put back together yet?  Or have been made new after brokenness?
