Lessons from a Cave—Giving Thanks

I will give thanks to you, O Lord, among the peoples; I will sing praises to you among the nations.For your steadfast love is great to the heavens, your faithfulness to the clouds. Be exalted, O God, above the heavens! Let your glory be over all the earth!  Psalms 57:9-11

The last three verses of Psalm 57 give us more coping techniques.

• Give thanks. 
• Share sung praise with others.  In social isolation, we can still do this via phone or social media or from our balcony or with our family.
• Remind ourselves and others of God’s steadfast love and faithfulness
• Exalt God.

Does it feel impossible to do this? Don’t forget that this was what David did while Saul was trying to kill him.  It was a conscious decision based on his trust in God, not on present circumstances.  He said, “I will!”  Like David, you can do this in the place of isolation.
