Title: God Sees You: Hope for the Forgotten and Afflicted (Psalm 10)
Short Description
What do you do when evil seems to thrive and God feels far away? Psalm 10 gives language to our pain and teaches us how to pray through injustice, hold on to God’s justice, and find hope when life feels unfair and overwhelming.
Episode Highlights
- Psalm 10 begins with an honest question: “Why, O Lord, do you stand far away?”
- The psalmist names the pain of injustice and the silence of God without offering simplistic answers.
- We are reminded that God is not blind to evil or deaf to the cries of the afflicted.
- Lament is a gift that gives us space to wrestle with pain and still cling to God’s character.
- The psalm shifts from grief to intercession—moving from confusion to confidence in God’s justice.
- God's throne is secure, His justice will prevail, and He draws near to the brokenhearted.
- This Psalm teaches us how to wait well, trust deeply, and pray boldly even when justice is delayed.
