Sermon Recap for 7/2/2017

Trusting God in Hopeless Situations
Psalm 3:1-8

In Psalm 3, we find David running for his life because his son’s revolt.  The prayer he pens is considered a lament psalm, one that he wrote early in the morning.   Three things we learn from this psalm about trusting God when all seems hopeless. 

First, life will present us with circumstances that seem hopeless.  This is often caused by adversity and feelings of abandonment from people and God (1-2). 

Second, it is paramount that we don’t allow the circumstances to dictate our outlook on life.  David, focused on the hope that he had in God’s protection, victory, comfort, and faithfulness (3-4). 


Third, when we allow our upward look to God determine our outlook on life, it results is calmness, courage, and confidence to face the seemingly hopeless situations of life (5-8).
