Psalm 41

Happy is one who is considerate
of the poor;
The LORD will save him in a day
of adversity.

This Psalm seems to have several themes, but at the heart of it is David’s confident trust that God has seen and known him; God has promised him protection and life; God will forgive him in spite of his sin; and, God will bless him.

All of David’s thoughts return to the foundation of his confidence. God loves him and is faithful to care for and protect him.

At day’s beginning, or end, this is the solid ground for my life – that God loves,

forgives,

sees,

knows,

and He is faithful.

Lord, be to me my secure fortress and peace.
