Psalm 77

“You are a God who performs miracles” (14). The psalmist is “distressed” and “faint.” He cries out for help (1) and in his pain wonders if God’s “unfailing love vanished forever” (8). In the middle of his doubts, he “remember(s) the deeds of the Lord” (11). As he recalls God’s great rescue of Israel from Egypt through the waters of the Red Sea (19), his faith is renewed, and he meditates on the Lord’s “mighty deeds” (12).

When we face difficulties and doubts, we meditate on God’s greatest mighty deed – the cross. We remain confident that “He did not spare his own Son” will also “graciously give us all things” (Romans 8:32).
