Why Am I Discouraged?

1-minute devotion for Tuesday, 11/4/25

Psalm 42
For the director of music.
A maskil of the Sons of Korah

“Why am I discouraged?
    Why is my heart so sad?
I will put my hope in God!
    I will praise him again—
    my Savior and my God!” Psalm 42:11 NLT Read full chapter

This Psalm was written by King David when his son Absalom defected. The sons of Korah are the men David put in charge of the music in the house of the Lord, evidence that David placed great importance on worship through musical excellence, both instrumental and vocal.

When we worship and praise God we become aware of His magnificence. Suddenly the circumstances of life begin to pale when compared to the greatness of God. (Jeremiah Study Bible Notes)

In His Love, Cindy
