I cry out to God Most High, to God, who fulfills his purpose for me. He sends from heaven and saves me, rebuking those who hotly pursue me; God sends his love and faithfulness.
Psalm 57:2-3 NIV
We read today 4 Psalms that clearly point to where David is looking for comfort, strength, direction, reassurance, and guidance. David is in fear for his life, for Saul still is king, misguided, and lives with the evil spirit from the Lord.
David wisely seeks shelter in the stronghold, but in addition to just taking action, he asks of the Lord for; justice, refuge, an end to violence, salvation, closeness, and needs fulfilled. David also thanks, praises, and exalts God. In addition he asks for God's glory to be over all the earth.
We can see the message of 1 Thessalonians 5:16-17 NIV Be Joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus, clearly in David's actions.
What would you do if you were in David's situation?
What words would you cry if you were in David's situation?
Where do you turn for comfort, strength and guidance?
Pray for the wisdom to seek God's will on a moment by moment basis.
In Christ,
David P
