Psalm 3:1-2 (NKJV) 1 Lord, how they have increased who trouble me! Many are they who rise up against me. 2 Many are they who say of me, “There is no help for him in God.” Selah
Many may look at the lives of those who are wealthy, or those who are in power, and may long for their life to be like theirs.
We often believe that wealth, power, or popularity lead to fairytale lives with no problems.
But this is a falsehood; a figment of our human imaginations.
King David had it all; power, wealth, popularity, and God’s favor. But he still faced very difficult situations that caused him great fear and anguish.
In the verses above he was crying out to God as he was being betrayed by one of his own sons, Absalom, who was trying to claim David's throne as king.
Yes. His own son was endangering his life and his position as the rightful, anointed leader of Gods people.
He had fled the palace and was in hiding, trying desperately to save his own life and the lives of those around him.
Was he afraid? Of course!
But did he abandon his faith in God? Absolutely not!
Despite his fears and the desperation of his situation, he called out to God, because that’s where his trust was!
What are we facing today? What is making us fearful? What obstacle seems insurmountable?
Whatever it is, trust God with it. Call out to Him. And if He asks you to do something, to take steps as part of the solution to your dilemma, be sure to obey Him.
Life can be scary sometimes. And with man this may seem impossible, but with God all things are possible.
