The sons of Korah call upon the LORD to awake, and ask him why he is sleeping. While the LORD sleeps, his people are being slaughtered, and scattered among the nations (11). We now know that God’s plan was to scatter his people throughout the nations so that when the Messiah came, they could lead the nations to him. But all the sons of Korah knew is that God was silent — as if asleep. In times when God seems silent to us, let us remember that he always has a good reason.
LORD, we trust you, and we wait for you. If we do not hear from you today, we will keep praying.
Psalm 44
