Praise in Dire Circumstance
David wrote Psalm 63 while fleeing from his son Absalom. In this terrible circumstance, the worst part was his separation from the place of worship. Instead of lamenting the seen, David lifted up praise with his entire being to the Unseen. His only petition was for God’s presence, proclaiming the lovingkindness of God as better than life. If we praise God in the moment of distress, the “with us” God will take care of the enemies. Psalm 63. VF-2082
