Dealing with Oppression
Ever cried out, "How long O Lord? How long will You let it happen? How long should I endure? I cannot bear this anymore".
Our immediate tendency is to find strength and refuge in people, friends, riches, and success. But the Psalmist reminds us that when we are oppressed, God is our comfort and salvation. However, we find it hard to trust God during troubles.
Jesus says in Matthew 11:28, “Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest.” When we are weighed down by the burden of oppression in this world, Jesus invites us to lay our burdens down and rest in Him.
The Psalmist calls those oppressed to wait in silence for God. Your hope is in Him. He is your rock and your salvation. He is your fortress and refuge.
As you wait in silence, know that God is not silent. Power belongs to Him. In our silence, we will know that He has spoken.
