For The Moment…42

In my haste, I am cut off from before his eyes.

Nevertheless, I believed, and the Lord heard my cries, and He saved me.

Be of good courage, and He shall strengthen your heart, all who hope in the Lord. ( adapted from Psalm 31 verse 22 and 24)

The Psalmist David writing this work was a fugitive running from King Saul. David was to be king, but he was hiding  in caves away from a man who was jealous of him and sought to kill him. This psalm is one of lament, a prayer for help, while  at the same time, it declares the goodness of Jehovah as the source of all blessings in times of trouble. David’s unwavering trust and belief in Jehovah is seen in the words of this Psalm 31.

The Lord is your hope when all other paths fail. He is your deliverer when you have no one to turn to and no place to run. He is always there to pick you up and keep you safe if you trust, obey, and believe in him.
