Devotional Portion: Psalms 13:6
I will sing to the Lord, Because He has dealt bountifully with me.
As David concludes the psalm, his tone changes to a joyful one. The depressing words in the initial verse has turned into a song of happiness as the Lord has dealt bountifully with David.
“David moved from being depressed and feeling abandoned by God, to singing joy. “The fact that we feel abandoned itself means that we really know God is there. To be abandoned you need somebody to be abandoned by. Because we are Christians and have been taught by God in the Scriptures, we know that God still loves us and will be faithful to us, regardless of our feelings.” (Boice)
God enlightened the eyes of David to see the goodness of Him and that made David sing with joy.
Reflection: Let’s pray to the LORD to enlighten our eyes to see His goodness.
