S – But I have trusted in your faithful love; my heart will rejoice in your deliverance

Psalms 13:5 CSB

O – Commentary:

David expressed his trust in the Lord’s unfailing love (ḥeseḏ), the loyal love the Lord has for those who trust in Him. The enemies of David were challenging the faithfulness of God’s love to one of his covenant believers.

“Psalms,” in The Bible Knowledge Commentary: An Exposition of the Scriptures

A – We face the same question today.  What is our expression when facing challenges?  Is it to trust in God’s unfailing love or do we dismiss God for not meeting our expectations?  David’s enemies knew that if they could disrupt David’s relationship with God, he would be vulnerable.  We are as well if we don’t continue solidifying our relationship with God daily.

R – Heavenly Father, we love you today.  The enemy wants to bring distance between us.  We fight for intimacy with you.  We desire a relationship with you in which we know you fully as you know us.  Let that closeness give us your presence, peace and power.
