Asaph is a worship leader. Asaph was pretty good at knowing how to provoke, intensify, or contribute to an already evaporated or impassioned situation, that’s fading and dying. So, Asaph says, “Let me remember my song in the night.” As a believer, what do you do when what used to draw you near to God doesn’t work anymore? I have! I had a seizure and my husband found me on the floor. When I was, I thought destroyed by what the hospital did to me, I was betrayed, and someone lied, and I ended up in this condition. Couldn’t breathe felt so abandoned by the God I loved and I really thought I was close to. But not having a voice or being able to speak I became closer to the Lord Jesus who was the only one listening to me. So I studied the Psalms. I was asking God to tell everyone I came in contact with what I needed. When I fell many times in my wheelchair. God sent someone to help me. Sometimes I had to wait till my husband came home from work. God is good all the time. He is with us every moment and never will forske us (Deuteronomy 31:6.) Never give up on God cause He never gives up on us. It read in Galatians 6:9 And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up. The word of God is what enables the people of God to live their lives to the glory and honor of God because they become secure and confident in the character of God.
It reads in Psalms 77:1-20 NIV:
(For the director of music. For Jeduthun. Of Asaph who wrote this psalm.)
I cried out to God for help; I cried out to God to hear me. When I was in distress, I sought the Lord; at night I stretched out untiring hands, and I would not be comforted. I remembered you, God, and I groaned; I meditated, and my spirit grew faint. You kept my eyes from closing; I was too troubled to speak. I thought about the former days, the years of long ago; I remembered my songs in the night. My heart meditated and my spirit asked: “Will the Lord reject forever? Will he never show his favor again? Has his unfailing love vanished forever? Has his promise failed for all time? Has God forgotten to be merciful? Has he in anger withheld his compassion?” Then I thought, “To this I will appeal: the years when the Most High stretched out his right hand. I will remember the deeds of the LORD; yes, I will remember your miracles of long ago. I will consider all your works and meditate on all your mighty deeds.” Your ways, God, are holy. What god is as great as our God? You are the God who performs miracles; you display your power among the peoples.With your mighty arm you redeemed your people, the descendants of Jacob and Joseph. The waters saw you, God, the waters saw you and writhed; the very depths were convulsed. The clouds poured down water, the heavens resounded with thunder; your arrows flashed back and forth. Your thunder was heard in the whirlwind, your lightning lit up the world; the earth trembled and quaked. Your path led through the sea, your way through the mighty waters, though your footprints were not seen. You led your people like a flock by the hand of Moses and Aaron.
