About this episode
Psalm 57 gives us a powerful picture of how to respond in the middle of difficulty. David is hiding for his life, surrounded by danger, crying out to God for mercy and protection. He honestly expresses his fear and the reality of his situation, describing himself as being among lions. Yet in the middle of that chaos, he makes a deliberate shift: "Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens; let thy glory be above all the earth." This is the key. While we are called to bring our needs, fears, and struggles to God, our ultimate desire should be that He is glorified in every circumstance. Whether God delivers immediately or walks us through the trial, our lives are meant to point back to Him. In every season—good or bad—may our prayer be the same: God, be exalted in my life.
