Sat.’s Devo - Rescue Us!

Read: Ps. 3-4, 12-13, 28, 55
David not only had the weight of the nation on his shoulders but the weight of his family. His family struggle would have been eliminated if he had stuck to one wife. No wonder David is constantly needing to encourage himself in the Lord. You wonder if he is talking about his own sons in Ps. 4:2, “O ye sons of men, how long will ye turn my glory into shame? how long will ye love vanity, and seek after leasing?”
David is always desperately needing the Lord to help him and in Ps. 28:6 he declares that God has heard and come to his rescue. We tend to give up when God doesn’t answer the moment we call but we have to learn to wait. God will answer and he will deliver us.
In Ps. 55, David seems overwhelmed and surrounded by his fears but he comes to the right conclusion. God will hear and save. When we give God our problems, he will sustain us and we will not be moved because we trust in God.
Lord, thank you for the encouragement of Your Word. Everything will turn out for the good if we will trust in You and follow Your path. We cry out for our nation for you to come and let Your will be done and your Word be exalted once again.
