A psalm that hasn’t let me down
A psalm that has been a guidepost to me is Psalm 73. The whole psalm does not mince words with regard to the hopelessness we may feel when confronted with fierce opposition. It also addresses the difficulty of feeling unable to confront this opposition properly.
It’s been good for me to remember that, as Paul alludes to in the New Testament, this opposition has to do with the imaginings of the human mind. And he helps us see the way to counter it: “Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ” (II Corinthians 10:5).
