Psalm 101:1
I will sing of mercy and judgment: unto thee, O Lord, will I sing.
In 1924, two climbers were part of an expedition that set out to conquer Mount Everest. As far as is known, they never reached the summit; and they never returned. After the failure of the expedition, the rest of the party returned home. Addressing a meeting in London, one of those who returned described the ill-fated adventure. He then turned to a huge photograph of Mount Everest, mounted on the wall behind him.
"Everest," he cried, "we tried to conquer you once, but you overpowered us. We tried to conquer you a second time, but again you were too much for us. But, Everest, I want you to know that we are going to conquer you, for you can't grow any bigger, and we can!"
When we are in troubles and it seems dark, let us be more ready and willing to grow our faith in the Lord. Our problems won't grow bigger but our faith can always grow bigger than any problem we are going to face. Let us be reminded of this psalm to sing of the Lord's mercy and judgment amidst the trials we are in. When faith is placed in a dark room, it creates notes on the wall to exclaim the goodness of the Lord like what Paul and Silas did.
There is always victory in Jesus as faith conquers fleshly desires, carnal reasons, and the sea of despair. Faith sings unto the Lord of grace notes and melodies as the storm passes by. We are expected to conquer for faith does.
