Rescue me! Have you ever felt like you were under attack and the only way out was by way of a miracle, God’s intervention. David certainly did in this psalm. He cries out with assurance for God’s hand to save him. His assurance is what speaks to me today. David was confident in his God, and he really needed him as he was being persecuted by Saul, so my Bible’s notes suggest. In times of trouble, we, too, need to stand on our faith with an confidence like David.
Does your faith remind you that God is watching (verse 3), that we are to follow and not waver (verse 5), that we are to pray knowing God will answer (verse 6)? Pause to reflect on those verses. Our God will protect us from harm. He stands as a great source of protection against our enemies. The last line of the psalm gives me chills of joy, “for I will see you face to face.”
We need to live our lives in such a way that we are always thinking of our destiny…to see God face to face. What will we say on that day? Will we have been faithful? How should we prepare ourselves for the day we meet God face to face?
Let’s pray. Lord, you know my heart, and you know how many times I am focused on the wrong thing. Thank you for these words of wisdom today as I ponder their truth. May I please you today in all I say and do. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
