Rejoice. He Knows

Psalms 31:7 KJV
I will be glad and rejoice in thy mercy: for thou hast considered my trouble; thou hast known my soul in adversities;

God considers our trouble.

• Not that there was no trouble
• Not that God's considerations prevented his afflictions
These old saints didn't question why God didn't keep them from trouble but rejoiced knowing that God knows.

It returns to our lower views of God today. We somehow expect that God should care for us rather than being grateful that He does. We have the roles reversed. We see ourselves as the priority and not the Lord.

David, the great King of Israel, was content that God considered and knew. And knowing God knew made him glad.
