As we walk through life the personal reality of suffering, its pain and anguish becomes something we all experience. Tears, despair and hurt are commonplace in a broken world. So how do we even contemplate singing at a time like this?
The writers of Psalm 44 were faithful men who were nearly overwhelmed by the pain of suffering. John Hindley takes us carefully through this Psalm, teaching that 'God has sent our suffering for His sake. Suffering is not a mark of God's indifference towards us, or His hatred of us. Suffering is a mark of His love for us. It shows that we are His.' The storm can be troubling and dark, but this Psalm will show you that even in the midst of the darkest times, God is working and you can trust and worship Him.
