Ask For Help

Save me, O God, by Your name, and vindicate me by Your power. Hear my prayer, O God; give ear to the words of my mouth. For strangers have risen against me and violent men have sought my life; they have not set God before them. Selah. Behold, God is my helper; The Lord is the sustainer of my soul. He will recompense the evil to my foes; destroy them in Your faithfulness. Willingly I will sacrifice to You; I will give thanks to Your name, O LORD, for it is good. For He has delivered me from all trouble, and my eye has looked with satisfaction upon my enemies. Psalm 54:1-7  

David wrote this while hiding from Saul—and being revealed by the treacherous Ziphites. (See 1 Samuel 23.) He was asking God—the Holy Spirit—to save him from his enemies. A little later God’s promise is shown in 2 Samuel 5 when David becomes king over Israel. God certainly did bless David, as He rescued him from his enemies—before and after he became king.  

Who are your enemies? I’ve decided that I am my own worst enemy…my attitude and selfish desires—dare I say rebellious—to have my own time…to do my own will—have set me up to be a victim of a lack of time. Time to do God’s work—to serve and encourage other.  

Prayer ~ Holy Spirit—please continue to help me surrender my attitude towards others and my selfish desires that I would be in step with Your will…walking down Your path. I know there will be troubles in this world…but I know that You have promised to be with us…to never leave us or forsake us (Deuteronomy 31:6,8). Help me, my family, friends and neighbors to be strong and courageous as we face the circumstances of life. May we all rejoice in knowing You and Your lovingkindness.
