"Why art thou cast down,
O my soul? And why art thou disquieted within me? Hope thou in God: for I shall
yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God." (Psalm
42:11, KJV)
When trials and tribulations
come, we must speak words of courage to ourselves. These words strengthen our
souls. King David, having gone through such experiences, did not lose hope even
during critical moments. He wrote this psalm as an encouragement to his own
soul.
Yes, dear ones, when we feel weary in our souls, we too must speak to ourselves like David did. Let us learn to say, “Why art thou cast down, O my soul? And why art thou disquieted within me? Hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God.”
The Bible declares, "He
giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth
strength." (Isaiah 40:29, KJV).
Just as David spoke to his
soul, we must also sit before God and wait on Him when faced with turmoil. Our
faith in Him will never put us to shame. "But ye, beloved, building up
yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost, keep yourselves
in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal
life." (Jude 1:20-21, KJV).
Although David’s life was
filled with battles, he fortified himself in God by speaking to his soul.
Hence, he declared joyfully, "for I shall yet praise him, who is the
health of my countenance, and my God."
In this world, though many may
comfort us, they are not always by our side. They may spend a few hours or days
offering soothing words or assistance. But the only one who can provide
permanent comfort to our soul is God. Therefore, during times of distress, we
must look to Him and praise Him.
When troubles, problems, and
anxieties arise, let us also speak to our souls: “Why art thou cast down, O my
soul? And why art thou disquieted within me? Hope thou in God.” He will
comfort, heal, and strengthen us.
