“Look at that!”
Psalm 69:32

“The humble will see their God at work and be glad.”

Psalm 69 is depressing. Our Psalm writer is feeling overwhelmed in a sea of struggle, both from inside his heart and from outside where others are striking out at him. This is what I have often called a “dumping on God” Psalm. It’s OK to dump on God. He’s the One you should dump your cares and fears upon.
Things change after the dumping is over. Sure King David (the author) lays out all of his hurts and complaints to God, but then he makes a shift. He realizes that his feelings are not the reality; God’s work in his life is. It’s humbling to come to the truth that God is working in what we see as an out of control world.
Take time to focus on the final seven verses of the Psalm when your world seems out of control.

Enjoy the Journey,
Paul
