As we continue to follow David as he flees from Saul, his life hinges on today and tomorrow. David is beside himself and echoes what many face when between a rock and a hard place. Do you sit and moan or do you do as he did, call out to God and remind yourself of who God is.
Put yourself in his shoes and listen how he faces the many thoughts that come to mind. David is asking: How did I get here? What is happening God? So David begins with his call out to God in prayer: “Do not ignore my appeal for mercy. Pay attention to me and answer me. I am so upset and distressed, I am beside myself, because of what the enemy says, and because of how the wicked pressure me,for they hurl trouble down upon me…” Can you relate to him? Have you ever been where there seems no way out of this problem you find yourself in?
David is telling us the solution is to cry out to God and seek His comfort. He knows humanly speaking, he has no solution, but then….God. God is listening to our heart’s cry. God’s heart hurts just as ours does. God is listening. Trust God in times and seasons of life when this what we face. Trust Him, but also cry out to Him with passionate words and then do as Isaiah said:wait on Him and His answer. It may come today or tomorrow or in eternity but we are called to wait on Him.
Vs 17: “During the evening, morning, and noontime I will lament and moan, and he will hear me. He will rescue me and protect me from those who attack me, Psa 130:5 “I rely on the Lord. I rely on him with my whole being; I wait for his assuring word.”
