When Life Turns Upside Down (Part 1)


Listen Later

This sermon explores the profound truth of finding rest in the midst of life's upheaval, using Psalm 3 as a lens through which David's crisis is examined. Amid betrayal by his son Absalom, the loss of public support, and the threat of violence, David confronts overwhelming adversity, yet his response is not despair but a deliberate, faith-filled dialogue with God. The central message is that true rest is not found in the absence of trouble, but in the conscious acknowledgment of one's questions, weaknesses, and fears—offered honestly to God. The sermon emphasizes that bringing God your questions is not an act of unfaithfulness, but through humility, it can lead to deeper dependence on His sovereignty, faithfulness, and sustaining power. As David moves from lament to prayer, from discouragement to remembrance of God's past faithfulness, he discovers peace not in circumstances, but in the unshakable reality of God's presence and provision. The solution to anxiety and turmoil, therefore, is not escape from difficulty, but the disciplined practice of resting in God's character, even when the world turns upside down.
