“主啊！现在我还等候甚么呢？我的指望在乎你。”
诗篇 39:7
“"And now, Lord, for what do I wait? My hope is in You.”
Psalms 39:7
As King David’s troops fought the Ammonites, David was back at his palace casting more than just a glance at another man’s wife (see 2 Samuel 11). In Psalm 39, David chronicles the painful process of restoration from the terrible sin that resulted. “The turmoil within me grew worse,” he wrote. “The more I thought about it, the hotter I got” (vv. 2–3 nlt).
David’s broken spirit caused him to reflect: “Show me, Lord, my life’s end and the number of my days; let me know how fleeting my life is” (v. 4). Amid his renewed focus, David didn’t despair. He had nowhere else to turn (v. 7). David would survive this personal battle and go on to serve God.
What motivates our prayer life doesn’t matter as much as the focus of our prayer. God is our source of hope. He wants us to share our heart with Him.
Father,
our hope is in You.
Forgive us for seeking answers apart from You.
Draw us close to You today.
