Psalm 109:26-27 says, “Help me, O LORD my God! Oh, save me according to your mercy, that they may know that this is your hand — that you, LORD, have done it! Many times when difficulties or hard times arrive, the typical response is, “God, get me out of this!” But in this psalm David gives a higher motivation for help: as a witness to unbelievers watching our struggles. Even in tough times, God wants us to be thinking of others. We are his witnesses and models to outsiders 24/7.
