Title: Unexpected Thanksgiving Under Persecution

Speaker: Rev. Jason Van Bemmel

Series: Psalms of Thanksgiving

Date: November 19, 2025

Bible: Psalm 7

Psalm 7 teaches “unexpected thanksgiving” in the midst of injustice. David is falsely accused but turns to God as the righteous Judge rather than defending himself. Though the world is full of wickedness, God’s perfect justice will prevail, and this truth leads David—and us—to give thanks. Our ultimate confidence is in Christ, the truly innocent sufferer and our righteousness, who assures us that God will make all things right.
