Psalm 42:8 “Yet the Lord will command his loving kindness in the daytime, and in the night his song shall be with me, and my prayer unto the God of my life.”
In this psalm Jehovah has promised
to enjoin His loving kindness to his children in the daytime of life. However, our walk with God is not always a “daytime”
walk. Sometimes Christian musicians go
through the “nighttime”. There are times
of misunderstanding, trial, persecution, sickness, financial hardship, and even
depression. These times require trusting
God even when we do not understand why things are happening in our lives.
Jehovah has promised that His song
will be with us no matter how dark or discouraging life’s night may be. If we are going to be able to call to
remembrance god’s song in the time of trouble, we must hide “His song” in our
hearts during the daytime of life. So,
we must be very careful to hide the right kinds of songs in our hearts when
things are going well. We must be sure that the songs that we have hidden in
our hearts will lift us up in the nighttime of trouble.
If we have hidden “his Song” in our
hearts, we must ask God, when we are discouraged, depressed or misunderstood,
to help us recall His Word that we have hidden in our hearts. Remember
that Psalm 119:11 states, “Thy word have I hid in my heart, that I might not
sin against thee.”
