Description

Confusion often sets in when life takes an unexpected turn—when hurt, disappointment, opposition, or spiritual attack clouds our perspective. From Psalm 71, this episode explains that the answer is not figuring everything out but choosing to trust the Lord. Focusing on confusion only deepens it, but fixing our eyes on Christ steadies the heart because God remains sovereign over every secondary cause. True deliverance comes not through self-effort but “in thy righteousness,” as Christ’s enablement is expressed through dependent obedience and moment-by-moment reliance on Him.
