I Will Trust in the Name of the Lord

January 22, 2023 • Grayson Gilbert • Psalm 54

Give

In this psalm, David's own life is being threatened as Saul pursues him, and his own countrymen betray him. Yet rather than wallow in despair, David recollects who God has revealed Himself to be in His Word, and forms his prayer in light of this. What this psalm portrays for us is a rich portrait of who God is in His attributes. God is our Advocate who saves us; God is our Helper, who sustains us; and God is the righteous Judge, who delivers us. It is in light of who God is then that we are called to trust in the name of the Lord all the days of our life.

All Things From His Hand

January 7, 2024 • Grayson Gilbert • Psalm 60

One of the most difficult concepts for many Christians to embrace is the sovereignty of God. When one considers the ramifications of this doctrine, many grow cold, lose heart, or even become antagonistic. However, the way Scripture portrays God's sovereignty is that it is the occasion for joy and hope. In this psalm, we see this reality on full display, as Israel has just suffered a humiliating defeat in battle. Rather than shy away from it, the psalmist even says that it was God who crushed them in their affliction! Yet he does not remain here. He sees that though the hand of the Lord has crushed them, it will be this same hand that lifts them up, and thus, he hopes in God all the more.
