A Song in the Night

A Song in the Night
Psalm 42

This week we have seen the psalmist’s troubles as he described them in psalm 42.

However, in the midst of his troubles, the psalmist had a steady faith in God’s deliverance. This is the greatest lesson we learn from this psalm.

Regarding this psalm, G. Campbell Morgan wrote, “Notice carefully the heroism of the man. He makes his trouble and disquietude the occasion of remembering God. Out of the place of exile he turns his thoughts to God…The trouble is still there, the oppression and reproach of his enemy, but courage and hope and the conviction of coming deliverance continue also.”

I believe the psalmist’s confidence in God is expressed in his phrase, “at night his song his with me” (v.8).

Each of us can still have a song in our heart through our times of trouble. This song is a gift from God when we place our faith in Christ as our Savior. It is a song of confidence in God’s sustaining presence.

My prayer for you today is that, even in your “night”, you are singing and sharing God’s song.

Expecting God’s Best,
Bro Rob
