[[-SOAP HUB]] | [[-Psalm Overview]] | [[Psalm 14]] ## Title: The Lord is With Us in Defeats ## Scripture: (Psalm 14:6) “You want to humiliate the oppressed, even though the Lord is their shelter.” (NET) ## Observation: When I was a kid, I watched a lot of movies. I already had a vivid imagination and movies took me to different places, times, and universes. It was always an adventure. I also loved how almost all my favorite movies had a happy ending. No matter what the hero would face, they would somehow win in the end. The unfortunate thing is that life does not always go that way. Good does not always win at the moment. The hero does not always save the day. The team doesn’t always win the big game. People die. Marriages don’t last. Children go in directions we would not choose. What do we do? We take it to the LORD. He cares more than we do about the things that burden our hearts. We also take joy in knowing that God is good. He has won the ultimate battle and joy can be ours because good wins in the end. At the same time, that does not deny that we struggle in the moment. So take it to the LORD and let His comfort be with you today. ## Application: What pain, hurt, and fear do you need to take to the LORD today? ## Prayer: Thank You, Jesus, for walking with us through every difficult season of life.
