King David was familiar with the horrors of war, exhaustion, and life’s unfairness and often sought refuge from those who meant him harm. But he learned to turn to the trustworthy One, confident God had not missed anything happening: “Thou tellest my wanderings: put Thou my tears into Thy bottle; are they not in Thy book” (Psalm 56:8)? Although a mighty warrior and king, David had a tender heart that chased hard after God and trusted the All-seeing God recorded every mistreatment, his anguish and heartache, and each tear. David had confidence God would one day avenge him.
Our Lord and Savior, Jesus
Christ, was acquainted with the pain of life’s struggles, unfairness, and feelings
of abandonment. His Father (and ours) sees and records everything; not one tear
goes unnoticed. Vengeance still belongs to Him—He will repay every injustice
(Romans 12:19). But until the day God banishes evil and makes all things right (Revelation
21:1–5), like David, we too must learn to find comfort in and trust Him.
