Title: Psalm 28: Learning to Trust God’s Love in the Silence
Psalm 28 gives voice to one of the hardest experiences of faith—when God seems silent. In this episode, discover how David perseveres in prayer, moves from desperation to praise, and rests in the love of the Shepherd who carries His people forever. Learn how God’s apparent silence is never His absence, and how His steadfast love strengthens us in seasons of waiting.
Episode Highlights
- Silence in prayer does not mean God has abandoned us (vv. 1–2).
- David pleads for mercy, lifting his hands toward God’s presence in faith.
- A prayer for justice reveals God’s holiness and the seriousness of sin (vv. 3–5).
- Fear turns into thanksgiving as David rejoices in God’s strength and deliverance (vv. 6–8).
- God’s help for one believer strengthens the whole people of God.
- The psalm ends with a prayer to the Shepherd who carries His people forever (v. 9).
- Christ fulfills Psalm 28 as our Rock, Redeemer, and Good Shepherd.
