Are we reflecting God in the middle of crisis? Psalm 69-71


Psalms 69:6 (NASBStr)
May those who wait for You not be ashamed through me, O Lord God of hosts;
May those who seek You not be dishonored through me, O God of Israel,

2010 & 2013  

Are we a blessing to God by pointing others to Him? Especially when we are going through a crisis? In Psalms 69-71 we see that David is concerned about how he may or may not point others to God during the crisis he is going through; especially in Psalm 69:6. In each of these Psalms, David wants to magnify God in his life so that others will see who God is through Him.  We sometimes forget that how we respond to crisis in our lives is as much about what we show others about God as it is what God shows us about Him.  Be willing to be that mirror for God:  We are to reflect His character through our own.  If we only worry about us, we might be reflecting something that is not as bright and brilliant as God.
