In Praise Of Our Reliable God (Psalm 40:1-17) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Dec 27, 2025

Today, we have the privilege of working through Psalm 40. Let's start by reading verses 1-4 (Hebrew numbering throughout, my apologies): Of/for the director. Of/for David. A Psalm. (1) Surely, I waited for Yahweh, and He stretched out to me, and He heard my cry for help, (2) and He ...read more

When You Feel Abandoned

Contributed by David Dunn on Jan 5, 2026

Psalm 22 reveals that honest lament is not faithlessness but faithful endurance, culminating in Christ’s cry from the cross. Because Jesus entered abandonment for us, silence is never absence, and suffering is never the end of the story.

Have you ever felt that God has left you? Not in a theoretical sense. Not the kind of question that shows up in a classroom discussion or a late-night debate about faith and reason. I mean something much more personal than that—something that settles into your chest and refuses to leave. Have you ...read more
