David faced some real struggles in his life. Some were of his own making, an example of which we will discuss this coming Sunday in the sermon. However, a lot of what David was facing in his life was from the hands of King Saul who considered him an enemy though David had done no wrong. He writes in the Psalm about waiting patiently for the LORD to lift him out of the pit he found himself in. He knew that he could trust God to work and that hope of what God would do kept him going as he awaited God's work.
I think it is fair to ask ourselves when we find ourselves in a pit: how did I get here? It is important to take responsibility for our role and repent as we seek the LORD. Perhaps we don't really get out of the pit until we take responsibility and change; otherwise, we will just fill into the pit again.
However, there are times when we find ourselves in a pit and we can't really say we did anything to get us into that position. In those moments it is important that our hope in Jesus does not get drowned out by blaming Him for where we find ourselves. If you find yourself in a pit and in despair today hold on. Keep your hope in Jesus. Let God put a new song in your heart of thanksgiving as you see Him work in your life
