Psalm 31:7 I will rejoice and be glad in Your lovingkindness, because You have seen my affliction; You have known the troubles of my soul, (NASB)
What afflictions are we going through? What do we do when those sad times come? Whether grief, pain or sorrow, we feel these from time to time, and it affects us some days more than others. King David was going through some awful pain here. He voiced that pain and when he did that, he remembered.
He remembered that, although his life had been altered by earthly circumstances, his Lord and God had not departed from him. David remembered that the Lord loved him! David remembered in whom he had put his trust. In moments of sorrow, remember that the Lord knows how you feel. He is even there crying along with you, because He can feel that deep connection with you. His heart aches when He sees you afflicted. Don’t forget either, choose to rejoice in His loving kindness, because He is going to help you through any difficulties that come your way.
