 “Is God Hidden in Our Troubles?” - Psalm 10
-- Jeffrey C. Evans --
 

I. Introduction
a. All of us are familiar where we have difficulty seeing that God is actually present and not absent. Often times, God appears hidden precisely at the time that we think He should be most visible. But, in such times, we must not lose faith but rather cry out with what faith we have, especially if we have faith in modest. This is actually one of the ways the Lord grows our faith and makes us see Him more clearly.

b. Context & Structure
i. An acrostic with Psalm 9
ii. Perhaps another double chiasm like Psalm 9
