The Christ child represents a lot of figures in our world. That is one of the reasons that God, in his divine wisdom sent a baby into this world.
We have seen as the prophets foretold the Messiah would come. We see that Christ comes in the form of a child, a babe wrapped in swaddling clothes and lying in a manger.

During a time of crisis and despair, David pours out his heart to God, recognizing that there are two places to dwell in life's trials: on the rock of God's security or in the pit of defeat. He is teaching us that our struggles can be transformed into songs of praise when we trust in Him.
Lord, I Need You! Psalm 28 Introduction: David is experiencing a time of great extremity – nighttime hours of the soul – one of David’s songs in the night.
