The big idea of this week's sermon from Psalm 3:1-8 is that even in the most challenging moments of life we can have confidence in approaching the God of the Bible, the God known most fully in Jesus, because He is the God who rescues those who call out to Him in trust. In this Psalm, David moves from his reason for calling out to God for deliverance from his enemies, to his response of prayer, to the result, which is the confident trust that salvation comes from the Lord. By making this song a part of our communal and individual lives, may we learn to trust and call out to the Lord who rescues His people in the midst of hardship and trial.
