Day 21 Psalm 13:3-6

3 Consider and answer me, O Lord my God; give light to my eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death,
4 lest my enemy say, “I have prevailed over him,” lest my foes rejoice because I am shaken.
5 But I have trusted in your steadfast love; my heart shall rejoice in your salvation.
6 I will sing to the Lord, because he has dealt bountifully with me.

Reflection: In the midst of hardship and exile, David bends his knee and pours out his struggles, grievances, and pain before God. Yet what is even more precious is that he does not remain in despair. He chooses, as always, to rise, lift his hands, and lift his voice in praise to the Lord, declaring His goodness, steadfast love, and faithfulness.
Though his circumstances may seem unchanged, his heart is at peace, and his mouth is filled with praise. A life renewed in strength can soar like an eagle, carrying you above the difficulties and discouragements of your environment.

Day21 詩篇13:3-6

3 耶和華我的神啊，求你看顧我，應允我，使我眼目光明，免得我沉睡至死，
4 免得我的仇敵說『我勝了他』，免得我的敵人在我搖動的時候喜樂。
5 但我倚靠你的慈愛，我的心因你的救恩快樂。
6 我要向耶和華歌唱，因祂用厚恩待我。

【心得分享】在流離失所的艱難中，大衛屈身跪下向 神傾吐掙扎、委屈、痛苦的心聲，更為寶貴的是他沒有停留於此。他選擇仍然像素常一樣，起身舉手揚聲讚美耶和華，宣告祂的良善、慈愛和信實。雖然他所處的環境看似還沒有改變，但他的心已經平靜了，口裡已經充滿讚美了。更新得力後的生命能如鷹展翅帶你飛越艱難沮喪的環境。
