  • Psalm 22: God Cares for the Afflicted
    Mar 31 2026

    This meditation on the climax of Psalm 22 ("My God, Why Have You Forsaken Me?") points out God's regard for the afflicted throughout the Old Testament, and the affliction like no other by Jesus, a man like no other. Because God regards Jesus' affliction, we have forgiveness and life, and an assurance in our every affliction that God cares for us. Classic Hymns, "Evening and Morning," and "Tell Out My Soul" (based on the Magnificat) flank this message.
