Psalm 31 - 3.3.25
Scripture
Psalms 31:2 NIV
“Turn your ear to me, come quickly to my rescue; be my rock of refuge, a strong fortress to save me.”
Observation
In this psalm of David, he is crying out to God for help. David is pleading to God to deliver him from his enemies and his difficult circumstances. But even through his hardships, David’s faith never wavers. Instead David finds his confidence in placing his full trust and reliance on God. David finds his strength and comfort knowing God’s faithfulness.
Application
When life’s troubles are weighing you down and your knees feel like buckling under the pressure…fall on them and PRAY 🙏🏽!
We all face struggles and hardships in life. But we don’t have to let them break us. We can find comfort, (like David here), knowing we have a God who is a reliable source of strength and security. No matter how big our troubles seem, our God is BIGGER! So why not seek Him?! He is in every detail of our lives, and He would love to hear from us. Seek Him earnestly. Seek Him often. Lay all our worries and concerns over to Him and trust Him. He will see us through. 😊
“Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need and thank him for all he has done. Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.”-Philippians 4:6-7 NLT
“Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about you.” -1 Peter 5:7 NLT
Prayer
Dear Heavenly Father, Thank You for being my rock, my tower of refuge and strength. Thank You for shielding me from my enemies, and for seeing me through all of life’s difficult circumstances. Forgive me for my times of doubt and fear. May I always be reminded in those times of darkness to seek You first. And when I seek You, may I find comfort and rest knowing that You are in control of it all, and that You are my God. And You are a God who is ALWAYS faithful. And I pray these things in Jesus name, Amen. 🙏🏽
