There are paradigm shifting moments - hinges - of history. We see the rescue mission of God being played out here as we close this psalm. Its full understanding is seen through these hinges as we read God's entire story for all it is worth.
How we confront evil in the world while bringing honor to God is what the psalmist wrestles with. In utter darkness, we have an example in Jesus as he comes face to face with evil and the promise of God for the world.
Despite our circumstances, we need to operate in faith, believing God's promises to be true. Otherwise fear will take over and we will feel all alone in the midst of our crisis.
