What do we do when we find ourselves in a difficult place? Do we ruminate on our problems and seek to find a solution in our own resources? David, King of Israel, was no stranger to difficult situations. He had many enemies. He also faced very difficult times in his life. Two such times stand out in our memory. First, he spent a long time running from King Saul after Saul had become obsessed with killing him. Second, there was the awful time when he fled Jerusalem before his rebellious son Absalom. In those difficult times, David wrote some of the most touching and helpful Psalms that we find in the book of Psalms.
One such Psalm is the one that is before us today. Many scholars speculate that David wrote this Psalm while on the run from Absalom. Perhaps it was in the time between his victory over Absalom's forces and when the leaders of Israel came to bring back the king. Whatever the setting, we find David teaching us again how to respond when our hearts are overwhelmed. Our study will fall into two divisions. I. Seeking God (v. 1-2) II. Finding Him (v. 3-4)
