Where and who do we seek counsel and encouragement when we feel isolated, mistreated, misunderstood, and rejected?
In this passage, David wrestled through his feelings and circumstances by remembering three of God's key characteristics. We can and should hold onto these when we are being challenged to work through feelings, circumstances, adversity, and disappointments.
1) God is holy (v. 3) -- He is perfect and just in everything He does. He never violates His character of holiness. Keep on!
2) God is infinite (v. 19) -- He has strength and resources beyond our own! Keep on!
3) God is faithful (v. 26) -- He always keeps His promises. My hope and trust are in Him and His perfection. Keep on; do not quit!
Do not quit.
