In the Day of My Trouble (Psalm 77)

The author of Psalm 77 was Asaph, worship leader assigned by King David. Asaph signed 12 psalms, Psalm 50 and Psalms 73-83. This psalm gives us his game plan when trouble comes knocking at the door. The setting when Asaph composed this psalm is unknown. What is your response whenever you encounter difficulties in life. The character in Daniel Defoe’s 1719 novel Robinson Crusoe certainly encountered lots of troubles in his life. He left the comforts of home for the sea. Unfortunately, he was captured by pirates and sold into slavery. Later, Crusoe emerges from a shipwreck as the sole survivor. However, life was still not easy because he was marooned on a tropical island all by himself for 28 years. His response was to read Scripture three times a day and learned to be grateful for the simple blessings in life. Let’s follow the footprints of Asaph through Psalm 77 and watch as he teaches us six secrets to surviving hard circumstances and difficult times.
