John 16 is written but a few days before the unthinkable will happen. Yeshua would be betrayed, tortured, nailed to a cross, and die. But, in “A little while, and you will no longer see Me; and again in a little while, you will see Me.” (vs. 16) Yeshua would rise from the dead. The Holy Spirit would then be poured out on them. What!?
Most likely, this psalm — written by David — was a psalm of ascent. Ascent as in walking up to the Tabernacle in worship. This psalm has a wide range of themes, from conquering God’s enemies, defending widows and orphans, to remembering the Israelites in the desert, to warnings to kings of the nations, etc. But today’s verse, and many others in this psalm, is about comfort.
Sigh. Today’s verse is part of a chapter I love for several reasons. First, because it is a “love letter” from ADONAI to Israel. At a time when the letters to Israel weren’t very positive, this chapter reminds Israel of how deep His love is for them.
Tomorrow, millions and millions will celebrate Father’s Day. But for some, tomorrow is a reminder of loss and pain.
Context. This verse is tucked into one of the most encouraging chapters of the Bible—especially for Israel.
