It is Saturday! Good morning, and a blessed day to you.
As I read, prayed,
and thought about what to share this morning, nothing really jumped
out at me until I got to Psalms 143:8:
"Make me hear of your love in the morning, because I rely on
you. Make me know the way I should walk, because I entrust myself to
you."
David is praying to
God in the later years of his life when there was turmoil in his
kingdom. Even as David is asking for deliverance from his enemies and
asking God to work, this verse shows his real focus.
Sometimes, we get
surrounded and overcome with life. This happens more than we want to
admit. Everything is vying for attention. We don't know how to
overcome it and it threatens to overwhelm us. David gives us the
key... Reliance and trust in God.
When all is dark,
who else do we have to rely on that will never let us down? No one.
Jesus is the ONLY human who has never let anyone down. He is God, but
also human. If there was a chance to let anyone down, he had the
chance to bail on the cross. He could have refused to go, as Jesus
said to His disciples that the Father had given everything into His
hands. This was before His death. Jesus gave up EVERYTHING except his
reliability to us. He would not let us down, even if it meant He had
to give it all.
I encourage us all
to have the attitude of David, especially when things threaten to
overwhelm us.
