Psalm
55 – Fly above the Storm
Troubles
around David, troubles within him and treachery next to him. These combined
made David wish he could get away from it all. It was not easy being God’s
anointed king, for with the privileges came great burdens and responsibilities,
and God’s enemies became David’s
enemies. Leadership was not easy.
David
wanted wings like a dove so that he could fly away from the storm. What he
really needed was wings like an eagle so he could fly above the storm, by going
into the Holy of Holies, under the shadow of His wings, you get this ability.
When you call upon the name of the Lord and cast your burdens on Him, He
enables you to overcome.
You
cannot fly beyond the storm because you will find problems everywhere, but you
can fly above the storm. God permits the burdens you face to help you “win your
wings.”
Psalm
56 – God Sees Your Tears
David
prayed this prayer while he was in danger in enemy territory. I Samuel
21:10-15. After God delivered him, he
wrote this Psalm as an expression of praise. When you are in the midst of
trouble, remember these truths about God.
David
should have been in Gath to begin with, but the Lord was gracious to go with
him and help him. God understands our situations better than we do. He knows
how you feel and He knows your tears, but He records them and retains them so
that one day He may transform them into joy and glory. No tears are ever wasted
when you follow Him.
God
hears when you call. Terrors and tears must be handled with trust. But be sure
your motive is not just deliverance. He delivers us that we might delight in Him
and serve Him. The highest purpose of prayer is the glory of God.
Please
read the chapter listed so that you can understand God’s Word better.
