IntroductionThis sermon addresses the reality of the "dark night of the soul"—those seasons where God remains silent despite persistent prayer. By examining Psalm 77, we explore the tension between deep personal suffering and the historical faithfulness of God. Using the Exodus story as a backdrop, we see how the biblical pattern of "hiding before rescue" serves to prepare the heart for a more intimate revelation of the Divine.Scripture ReferencesPsalm 77: The lament of Asaph and the remembrance of God's wonders.Exodus 1–14: The narrative of revelation, rescue, and recompense.Matthew 27:46: Jesus' cry of dereliction on the cross.Ephesians 2:4-7: God's mercy in making us alive with Christ.Key PointsThe Honesty of Lament: Asaph models a faith that is not afraid to cry out. Bringing raw emotion, insomnia, and even "moaning" to God is a form of worship. The Psalms give us a vocabulary for pain when our own words fail.The Reality of Divine Silence: Silence from Heaven is a normal part of the Christian experience. It does not necessarily indicate unrepentant sin; often, it is a "divine peekaboo"—a purposeful hiding that focuses our attention and prepares us for a clearer revelation.The Weight of Remembrance: When feelings suggest God has forgotten to be gracious, we must intentionally shift the weight of our perspective to history. Asaph concludes that God's way is "holy" (set apart) by meditating on the Exodus.Building Personal and Community Monuments: Because we are prone to forget, we must create "altars"—recorded testimonies, family traditions, or shared community stories—that serve as tangible evidence of God's past faithfulness during current storms.The Ultimate Rescue: Our hope is anchored in the Gospel. Just as the Red Sea was parted, Christ entered the waters of death to provide the final rescue. His resurrection is the promise that every "hidden face" of God will eventually be revealed.ConclusionSuffering is not the end of the story, but the tilling of the soil. God's footprints may be unseen in the "great waters" of our lives, but He leads His people like a flock. Whether through personal history, the community of the church, or the ancient story of the Exodus, we find the strength to hold fast until the hands of God part and we see Him face to face.Calls to ActionRecord Your History: Start a "Family Poem" or a journal of "But God" moments to document specific instances of provision and rescue.Engage in Community: Share a testimony of grace with someone in your small group or pact to help build their faith.Pray the Psalms: This week, find a Psalm of lament that resonates with your current trial and pray it back to God as your own.

Psalam 77, stihovi 10 do 1810 I rekoh: Žalosna je za mene ova promena desnice Višnjega.11 Pamtim dela Gospodnja; pamtim predjašnje čudo Tvoje.12 Mislio sam o svim delima Tvojim, razmišljao o radnji Tvojoj;13 Bože! Put je Tvoj svet; koji je Bog tako velik kao Bog naš?14 Ti si Bog, koji si činio čudesa, pokazivao silu svoju medju narodima;15 Mišicom si odbranio narod svoj, sinove Jakovljeve i Josifove.16 Videše Te vode, Bože, videše Te vode, i ustreptaše, i bezdane se zadrmaše.17 Iz oblaka lijaše voda, oblaci davahu glas, i strele Tvoje lećahu.18 Grmljahu gromovi Tvoji po nebu; munje Tvoje sevahu po vasiljenoj, zemlja se tresaše i njihaše.
Psalm 77 - Abdel Judeh - Sunday Evening, January 25, 2026 by First Baptist Church of Hammond
Selah | Psalm 77 | Pastor Jon Adams So far in our Selah series, we've visited homes overwhelmed by stress and homes in seasons of success. But in every neighborhood, there are also homes that may look fine on the outside, but inside something has gone terribly wrong. Homes that are in crisis, overwhelmed by loss, fear, and pain. This Sunday, we'll drop back into the life of Jesus, right when he is experiencing the greatest crisis moment of his life. We'll see how he responds to that moment, and learn to Selah alongside him in another psalm—this time, Psalm 77. Whether it's every once in a while, every day, or every moment, if you're experiencing loss, fear, or pain, this Sunday we'll learn how to follow Jesus' example as he found Selah in crisis.
Preacher: John Hudson Today John Hudson is preaching through Psalm 77, a Psalm of lament that invites us to call out to God in difficult times. It shows us how suffering can be powerfully transformative, can reveal God's grace, and can be more easily endured when we remember what God has done in the past. Red Door is an Anglican Church in Melbourne, Australia. We exist to be a community of people helping people make allbecau of life all about Jesus.
Psalm 77:10-2010 And I said, This is my infirmity: but I will remember the years of the right hand of the most High.11 I will remember the works of the LORD: surely I will remember thy wonders of old.12 I will meditate also of all thy work, and talk of thy doings.13 Thy way, O God, is in the sanctuary: who is so great a God as our God?14 Thou art the God that doest wonders: thou hast declared thy strength among the people.15 Thou hast with thine arm redeemed thy people, the sons of Jacob and Joseph. Selah.16 The waters saw thee, O God, the waters saw thee; they were afraid: the depths also were troubled.17 The clouds poured out water: the skies sent out a sound: thine arrows also went abroad.18 The voice of thy thunder was in the heaven: the lightnings lightened the world: the earth trembled and shook.19 Thy way is in the sea, and thy path in the great waters, and thy footsteps are not known.20 Thou leddest thy people like a flock by the hand of Moses and Aaron.

Besides God, there is no God. There are lots of distractions out there trying to pull your attention in different directions. Despite the daily deluge of doctrines and dogmas, one God remains in control through it all, and that's the God of the Bible – the one true God that can give you eternal life if you turn to Him. Pastor Mark is going to remind you in today's message that God is the only true God. With so many beliefs and doctrines in the world today, it can be overwhelming just to know what's true. That's where faith and the Bible come in. You'll know the God of the Bible is the true God when you experience the joy only He can give.

Send me a Text Message!Psalm 77 is the heart cry of a person who is waiting for bad stuff to stop and good stuff to start. He has found himself in a season of deep trouble, days when God seems absent at best, times when he cries out to God but finds no comfort for his soul. But even in this deep trouble, he finds a way to practice gratitude. How about you, have you find a way, even in deep trouble, to still be grateful? That's the focus of this gratitude pause.

Pastor Judy Dawson draws on Psalm 77 to remind us that it's perfectly normal to bring our raw emotions—anger, doubt, and questions—straight to God as we fight for our faith. The Psalms equip us with the ability to turn those doubts into genuine worship.
Psalm 77 ponders the very character of God. The author, in his lament, questions whether or not God is actually who He claims to be. Through this contemplation he comes to some very interesting conclusions that are helpful to those who are suffering.----------------------------Please follow us on these platforms:Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@JointhesearchPodcast: https://thesearch.buzzsprout.com/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@jointhesearchInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/jointhesearchtodayFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/jointhesearchtoday

SHOW NOTES Psalm 77 captures the tension of grief: raw sorrow and anchored hope. Verses 1–10 give space to lament and reminds you God listens. Verses 11–20 invite us to remember. This pattern can help you process grief while building trust in God's faithfulness. Key Takeaways You are allowed to question, cry, and feel overwhelmed (v.1–10). God doesn't turn away from your brokenness. Remembering God's past faithfulness—your “Faith Resume”—can anchor your hope in the storm. Action Step Create your own Faith Resume. Write down the moments when God carried you. Let those memories breathe life into your present and future. Other Verses to Hold on to: Lamentations 3:21–23 – “Yet I call this to mind and therefore I have hope: Because of the Lord's faithful love we do not perish…” Isaiah 43:2 – “When you pass through the waters, I will be with you...”

Welcome to Day 2677 of Wisdom-Trek. Thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom Day 2677 – Wisdom Nuggets – Psalm 77:13-20 – Daily Wisdom Wisdom-Trek Podcast Script - Day 2677 Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps! I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day 2677 of our Trek. The Purpose of Wisdom-Trek is to create a legacy of wisdom, to seek out discernment and insights, and to boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. Today's Wisdom Nugget is titled: The Unseen Path of the Unchanging God - Concluding Our Trek Through Psalm 77:13-20 Today, we reach the powerful and awe-inspiring conclusion of our trek through Psalm 77 in the New Living Translation, encompassing verses 13 through 20. In our last conversation, we plunged into the raw, personal anguish of Asaph, the psalmist. We heard his desperate cries in the night, his sleepless torment, and the agonizing questions that plagued his soul: "Has the Lord abandoned us forever? Will he never again be kind to us? Has his unfailing love vanished forever?" He was a man drowning in doubt, unable to find comfort, even from the thought of God. But then, a pivotal moment occurred: Asaph intentionally shifted his focus, resolving to "recall all you have done, O Lord; I remember your wonderful deeds of long ago." This act of remembering God's ancient wonders became his lifeline, the first step out of the mire of despair. Now, in these concluding verses, we witness the glorious outcome of that deliberate act of remembrance. Asaph's perspective completely transforms from anguish and questioning to profound awe and unwavering trust. He no longer asks if God has changed; instead, he declares God's unchanging holiness, His incomparable power, and His unfailing, sovereign leadership, even when His path is hidden. This is the ultimate resolution of his spiritual crisis, leading to a powerful affirmation of God as the Shepherd-King. So, let's allow our hearts to be filled with awe as we witness the triumph of faith over doubt, anchored in the undeniable truth of who God is and what He has done. (Reads Psalm 77:13-15 NLT) O God, your ways are holy. Is there any god as great as our God? You are the God who performs miracles; you display your power among the nations. By your strong arm, you redeemed your people, the descendants of Jacob and Joseph. Guthrie Chamberlain: The psalmist begins this section with a triumphant declaration of God's unparalleled character, a stark contrast to his earlier questions about God's mercy and love: "O God, your ways are holy. Is there any god as great as our God?" The word "holy" (qadosh) here signifies not just moral purity but also God's separateness, His transcendence, His utterly unique and unapproachable majesty. God's ways, His actions, His very nature, are completely set apart from all human imperfection and doubt. This is a foundational truth that silences all questioning. The rhetorical question, "Is there any god as great as our God?" echoes the triumphant certainty we saw in Psalm 71, "Who can compare with you, O God?" It's a resounding affirmation of God's incomparability, a direct refutation of any doubt that might have crept into...
Welcome to Day 2675 of Wisdom-Trek. Thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom Day 2675 – Wisdom Nuggets – Psalm 77:1-12 – Daily Wisdom Wisdom-Trek Podcast Script - Day 2675 Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps! I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day 2675 of our Trek. The Purpose of Wisdom-Trek is to create a legacy of wisdom, to seek out discernment and insights, and to boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. Today's Wisdom Nugget is titled Wrestling with Doubt, Anchored in Ancient Wonders - A Trek Through Psalm 77:1-12 Today, we begin a deeply personal and emotionally charged trek through Psalm 77 in the New Living Translation, encompassing its foundational verses, 1 through 12. Psalm 77, like many we've explored recently, is attributed to Asaph. But after the triumphant declarations of God's ultimate judgment in Psalm 75, and the awe-inspiring celebration of God's protective power in Psalm 76—where Jerusalem was defended and enemies shattered—Psalm 77 takes a sharp turn. It brings us back to the raw, intimate struggle of an individual soul wrestling with profound spiritual distress. This is not a national lament over a devastated Temple, but a personal cry from the depths of a troubled spirit, plagued by sleeplessness and agonizing questions about God's faithfulness. This psalm vividly captures the experience of spiritual darkness, where past blessings seem distant, and doubt whispers insidious questions about God's unchanging nature. Yet, it also provides a powerful pathway out of that darkness: by intentionally remembering and meditating on God's mighty acts and wonders from ancient times. It is a profound lesson in how to fight for our faith when our feelings betray us. So, let's immerse ourselves in this raw, honest, and ultimately redemptive journey of faith. (Reads Psalm 77:1-6 NLT) I cry out to God; yes, I shout. Oh, that God would listen to me! When I was in trouble, I sought the Lord. All night long I prayed with hands uplifted, but my soul refused to be comforted. I recall the days of my prosperity— but then I groan. I think of God, and I am troubled; I grow faint as I think about it. Interlude You have held my eyelids open; I am too distressed to speak. I keep thinking of the good old days, the long years of the past. I ponder my sad songs in the night. My heart questions in the darkness: Guthrie Chamberlain: The psalmist opens with an immediate and intense expression of distress, leaving no doubt about the depth of his anguish: "I cry out to God; yes, I shout. Oh, that God would listen to me!" This isn't a polite prayer; it's a desperate, almost violent, cry. He is "shouting" to God, indicating extreme urgency and pain. The plea "Oh, that God would listen to me!" (literally, "My voice to God and He will give ear to me") highlights his desperate longing for divine attention, implying that he feels unheard or ignored. His distress drives him to seek the Lord, even through sleepless...
