But I have trusted in your steadfast love;
my heart shall rejoice in your salvation.
I will sing to the Lord,
because he has dealt bountifully with me.
Psalm 13:5,6
In the rest of this chapter, David is "complaining." He feels that God has forgotten him. His enemies were gaining the victory over him. Yet, he trusted in God's steadfast love. He knew God loved him, and He chose to sing praises to God in thankfulness instead of staying in that complaining frame of mind.
We too can make this choice. It's not always easy though. When I'm in a complaining frame of mind, it's hard for me to see the bright side. But, God's love never changes. Salvation still saves us. There is always a bright side even when we can't see it.
Lord, I praise You for Your steadfast love. Thank You that You love me even in my dark times. Thank You that You never fail me. Help me to remember that in the times when I feel like complaining more than praising. Help me to remember how bountifully You've dealt with me. Thank You that You never change. We can count on You to be the same all the time.
