my sighing is not hidden from You.
For You, O LORD, do I wait;
it is You, O Lord my God, who will answer.
This is a psalm of lament, but even amidst sorrow and anguish the psalmist turns in faith to God. And should I do any less? What a timely challenge. When discouragement sets in and God's path seems too hard to travel, He strengthens my soul, sustaining with a word the one who is weary (Isaiah 50:4).
Sometimes a light surprises
The Christian while he sings;
It is the Lord who rises
With healing in His wings;
When comforts are declining,
He grants the soul again
A season of clear shining,
To cheer it after rain.
(William Cowper)
