Feeling Like God is Absent - Psalm 88
•
Forward City Church
Spencer discusses Psalm 88 and Paul leads us in communion. Spencer talks about the reality Psalm 88 seemingly has no resolution, but ends with darkness being the writer's only friend. Spencer talks about how the Psalm empathizes with the human experience where God feels absent while sorrow and darkness seem to fill our lives.
But Spencer reminds us that while the writer expresses these emotions and feelings, he is still praying and still seeking God's life and blessing. God is still present, even though it seems like he is not, and faith continues to pursue God, even when despair seem to have overcome us.
