“You are my God,
Lord. Listen to my prayer for help. Lord God, my mighty Savior, You protect me in battle.”
“Lord, help me to control my tongue; help me be careful
about what I say. Take away my desire to
do evil or to join others in doing wrong … I trust in You, Lord.”
These two psalms of David detail his trust in the Lord. My commentary had several good amplifications
of what’s being said there:
“As God’s people in an evil world, we must expect the opposition
of the enemy and trust the Lord to enable us to overcome … We must humbly ask
Him for the help we need to live and work among difficult people who hate us
and want to see us fail … Our prayers for godless people must focus on changing their character, and not just
stopping their persecution of believers … The Lord will accomplish what concerns me … Yield to Him and He will accomplish
what He has planned for you, and you will be satisfied.”
David’s wise decisions were what built his character and his
character built his life. Here are some
things he decided here:
“I will seek the Lord’s help.”
“I will keep myself from sin.”
“I will gladly accept counsel.”
“I will let God
judge my enemies.”
“I will keep going by faith.”
Also, I read, “We must not allow tough situations to
paralyze us but to energize us in trusting the Lord. Life’s trials are not excuses for doing nothing; they are opportunities for claiming God’s promises and experiencing His
miraculous power.”
Father, I’ve watched and seen how faithful You have been to
me during the most trying times over the last two years. I’m so glad that I can trust You to take charge over my life and lead me through the
toughest times!
Your Brother In Christ,
Gary Ford
